Melissa is exceptional and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for pet care. Finding someone to care for your fur babies while you're away can be challenging to say the least. After meeting with her, I knew she was the perfect choice. She's thorough, warm and caring. I've used many pet sitters over the years and have yet to find one so compassionate and capable. read more

We have used Cedar Park Pet Sitting Services (CPPSS) twice - each time for extended trips. Melissa is amazing...and she has a wonderful team of people who truly care about animals. Reason for this review: There's obviously a lot of trust involved in letting people take care of your pets and access your home. We have 100% confidence in Melissa and her team and want to share our experience because - when we were looking for long-term pet sitting - we didn't have any recommendations to help us. Five-star details: 1. Outstanding Communications. Melissa is always available, including by phone, text, and email. She does what she says she is going to do. We've spoken on the phone & Melissa has a great app which gives you updates and photos of your pet! 2. Genuine Caring. On our most recent trip, the weather got cold. Melissa's team members worked with us to turn on our well heater, ensure our pup was kept warm and cozy, and gave us detailed updates and photos. 3. Going Above & Beyond. Melissa called me about the cold weather to alert us in case we didn't know it was going to be below freezing and to ensure our pet was fully taken care of. Her team actually plays with your pet, spends real quality time, and ensures your pet feels loved. They brought our dog extra treats which was incredibly thoughtful because our dog is a senior citizen - and they actually know about dogs so they brought treats that are great for his health as well as being yummy! read more

We have been using this pet sitting service of our cat for nearly 2 years, and cannot recommend it enough. The owner, Melissa, is very responsive. it is easy to schedule services and prices are very reasonable. All of the sitters that work for Melissa are professional, friendly and really love animals. The sitters send us an update and photos each day they visit and generally make sure our house is okay while we are away (i.e., take our garbage cans if we ask, bring in packages, etc.). We have full confidence that our cat (and our house) are in good hands while we are away. As a bonus, our cat LOVES all of the sitters ;) read more

Honest and dependable, the sitters I have interacted with have been very attentive, caring, and thorough. They treat my pets like they truly care about the animals. read more

I left a review 9 years ago, but wanted to do a new shoutout to CP Pet Sitting! We have gained and lost pets, but still use them after all these years. They have expanded and everyone we have had watch are pets have been just as amazing as Melissa. Special thanks to Kimberly- she takes amazing care of our 4 cats while we are away. Very compassionate, professional, approachable, and friendly. Never had an issue with a pet in their care and if there is an issue, I trust them to take my fur babies to my vet and give me updates. We will never kennel again. Hope this helps! read more

Gavvie did a fantastic job taking care of our three cats. My mother and aunt in-laws were there but unable to attend to the litter boxes and they sang Gavvie's praises to high heaven. I spoke to Melissa to set up services and then met Gavvie and they were both great so I will be comfortable with whoever comes when we use them again and we will be using them again. The prices are reasonable and it was easy to set up. Thanks y'all!! read more

I love working with Melissa! She has been my cat's sitter every time I'm out of town for the last 2 years and the experience has always been great. Every time she's with Cinnamon she'd text me an update of how she was doing WITH pictures and/or short videos. :)) Two instances I was out of the country and my phone was disabled because of it. So no calls or "regular" texting. However since she also uses iMessages we were able to still communicate as if I was in Austin. I LOVED that! She kept the updates with pictures rolling as usual. I felt very safe knowing that if anything came up she'd be able to still reach out to me easily. Also the note when I get home about wherever special thing Cinnamon managed to do each time is super-cute :D I highly recommend Melissa's services. Your pets will be very well cared for with her :)) read more

We worked with them since we moved to Austin 15 years ago. At least while we've had cats. They have always left treats for our kitties And all of her people truly love the animals and they play with them and send pictures and it makes us so happy when we are on vacation! read more

We have used this service twice during vacations. She was recommended by a neighbor. They are so wonderful and take such good care of the pets. They give me piece of mind knowing my fur babies are well cared for. read more

Never return calls or emails. We really tried to believe the good reviews, but no. Sorry. We tried reaching out for 1 week. No calls and no emails back read more

Wow!! Looking back at my prior reviews, I'm stunned to find that I've been using Melissa's services for 5 years now! Entrusting your babies to the same person for 5 years is enough recommendation for her good work but lemme just update and add more praise. In the 5 years I've known her, she has NEVER been unable to take care of my critters. She is always available and now that she has at least one employee under her, I never have a concern about it, even last minute. This weekend I had a family emergency (up in the icy north) and I literally was in my car leaving Austin before I texted her about coming by the house later that evening. NO PROBLEM. And when my "quick trip" turned into an overnighter, she came by the next morning. NO PROBLEM. AND, when I was delayed even further yesterday afternoon, I texted her at 5:00 to see if she could go by one more time that evening as we were gonna get home late. NO PROBLEM. We have a very comfortable relationship with easy communication by text, usually filled also with sweet comments and xoxoxo's. She always leaves little notes on how my babies did while I was gone, their activities, even their pooping schedule. I know she loves my babies. She even wrote a character reference for my bad boys when they had to go to court! She goes the extra mile for sure and I know I'll be relying on her as long as we live in that area. I may even move her to Driftwood with us next year! read more

We had arranged with a work friend of my spouse to house sit and care for our two Boston Terriers while we went off for a week this summer. Long story short, the friend had two dogs of her own and I set up a 'meet and greet' with them to see how they got along with ours. Results were NEGATIVE! With only a few days left until our vacation we took to the internet for find a well rated pet sitter. Melissa's business stood out above the rest with good reviews on several rating sites. She came by beforehand to set things up and I was impressed by her easygoing professionalism and enthusiasm. I've spent 30 years dealing with vendors in many countries and she fit the profile of someone with which to do business. My spouse was very anxious as we had never used a pet sitter before. What a waste of anxiety! In fact, we now wonder if they prefer Melissa to us LOL. The house was in great condition and we couldn't be more satisfied excepting if she had built that limestone retaining wall and flower bed I've been dragging out this summer....... During the vacation she kept in touch via text and even sent a few pics of the dogs doing their dog stuff. I would recommend her service without reservation. Oct 2015 update: we've continued using this service since my original review and it has been consistently superior. I wish the US Congress would ask Melissa for some advice LOL read more

Our family has used Cedar Park Pet Sitting Services multiple times now and each time we have come home to happy dogs and a happy cat. All of our fur babies are special to us so we are a tad picky when it comes to who we entrust them with. Over the past year we have used this business for visits that range from a day visit up to more than a week. We have been happy with them every time! They come when they're scheduled to come, they take great care of our pets and everything is as nice and tidy as when we left. Two of our five animals are blind, they are pretty healthy otherwise however, their visual impairment does require a little extra TLC. Monique, our pet sitter from Cedar Park Pet Sitting is great with all of our animals and she has no issues taking care of our blind babies. She loves working with animals and it shows. Their pricing is good and they also offer other services such as dog walking, mail, and watering plants. This is a solid business with amazing employee's. They came highly recommended by Yelp's very own Keri B., thank you Keri! Our family highly recommends them, we give Cedar Park Pet Sitting a 5 Paw Star Review. read more

I've used this service a few times, and twice in the last couple of months. I mostly need help during times when I travel for work or vacation. I have used kennels in the past, and our dogs would come back traumatized. They would have accidents (which normally never happened), and they smelled horribly. One of them also got sick, and that was the last straw. We are so happy to find Monique through Melissa's service. Monique came out for the first meet/greet, and has been sitting for our two dog's ever since. Everything has been so perfect with her! Our dogs and the home have always been in great condition upon our return. Happy dogs ... makes me happy! Monique went above and beyond this last trip. Not only did she provide incredible care, and periodic text updates with pictures, which i love!...we were also surprised to find that she took care of the trash, and (after asking permission, of course) she provided some extra snacks to our girls. I love the personal note, and the stamped envelope left behind with the invoice. Knowing that Monique is caring for our dogs while we are away is such a blessing. We never worry, and can be completely relaxed during our trips. I would recommend this service to any of my friends looking for dog sitters. Great service, fair price, and phenomenal attention to detail. Highly recommend! read more

We've used Cedar Park Pet Sitting a few times now and they are beyond wonderful! Monique takes care of our pets (dog and bearded dragon). When you meet her, you can instantly tell how much she loves animals! She takes care of your house and does little things to make sure your house looks occupied (blinds, lights, etc). On our last trip, our dog vomited in a few spots in the house and Monique cleaned it all up so well, I would never have known our dog had been sick. She went above and beyond and was very kind about taking care of that. Scheduling is very easy with Melissa as well and they are very accommodating. read more

I highly recommend Melissa Ramos for pet sitting services.She is dependable,responsible and honest person.i was highly impress with her work and her flexibility. While I was on vacation she was very prompt in returning my phone calls and text messages.She even send me pictures of my cats which gave me alot peace of mind. She loves animals and loves to take care of them.I will contact her again when I go out of town. read more

Melissa does a great job communicating and is super flexible with our pet sitting needs. Jamie is amazing with all 3 of our pups and gives each one the individual attention they need. Our pups aren't always the easiest to get along with, but they all love Jamie. She also sends me pics of our pups playing in the yard so we know they are ok. Their pricing is reasonable, with 3 visits per day coming out about the same price as boarding for 2 of our dogs. Thank you both for taking the stress out of travel for us by being so reliable and great with our kids. read more

Basically, Melissa is the best! I had to move out of state to attend school, and she was the person my mom & I decided to choose to take care of my kitties. Really great decision we made. She cares for my cats just as I would (or maybe even better) and loves playing with them. She is definitely trust-worthy and keeps you up to date with all things surrounding your pets. Also, Melissa made it really easy for me to set up a way to pay her. Instead of worrying about sending out checks and getting money back home to Texas, she allows me to simply transfer cash to her account. Very convenient and way less stressful. So, this is just a big thank you note to Melissa for being awesome. And to let everyone else know she is the go-to person if you ever need someone as loving & caring to take care of your pets as you are. read more

I would give Melissa 6 stars if I could, because this pet sitting service goes far and above expectations! We left on vacation for 8 days during the week that we had over 100 degree days. Melissa took care of our cat with water and food , but also watered all the flowers outdoors and watered the garden. Exceptional service with great communication if you want to check in on the house and the pet. Would highly recommend and will use again on our next trip! read more

We selected Melissa to care for our Persian cat while travelling based on a large degree on the favorable reviews we saw on Yelp. When we met her, we were not disappointed, and we could tell she was not only an animal lover like us, but a proud business owner establishing herself and growing her business. Our experience was terrific and we would certainly recommend her. Not only did she do great with our cat (who normally hides from strangers, but took a liking to Melissa) when we had a windstorm, she also righted all our turned over patio furniture and made sure our place was ok. She took on other house related tasks like emptying our skimmers, and taking out the bins and notes from neighbours etc. She even sent pictures of the house and some of the effects of the storm. It was nice to know she was reachable and responsive via email when we were on the other side of the world. Hiring Melissa and Cedar park pet sitters is much more than just hiring someone to come and feed your pet. Melissa is a professional, and even has some background in pet medicine. She'll care for your pet and your home. One less stress related to travel away from home. For our Cat, staying in a familar environment was much less stressful as well. We were never a fan of putting her up for boarding in a small 3x3 cel where she could catch who knows what from other animals. I wish Melissa lots of success with her business and encourage you to encourage her. We will certainly use her again when we travel, and once again recommend her services highly.. read more

Melissa does not have a sitter/walker in my area. However, she responded quickly and was very nice. I wish she did have someone!

I absolutely LOVE Cedar Park Petsitting. I use them exclusively when out of town. My kitties (all five of them-yes, I'm one of those "crazy cat ladies ) mean the world to me and I need someone who's companionate and respectful. Melissa and crew are always on time and reasonably priced. read more

Melissa and her team have been my pet sitters for many years. I know I can trust them to take care of my babies. Melissa was on hand when my 21-year-old lady passed away a couple of years ago. She was just awesome and handled everything. I could not be more pleased with this company. read more

Melissa provides unsurpassed service. She is great with anxious and temperamental dogs, even the ones no one else will handle/groom. She has watched our dogs while we are on vacation and she always leaves a nice little update of what they did each day. She and her team go out of their way to ensure that your dogs are taken care of just as you would, that way you can enjoy your vacation. She offers to grab the mail or water your plants while you are away. It is like having a family member or friend coming by to check on your K9 kiddos. And that feeling is invaluable. read more

My husband and I are new to the Austin area and didn't have anyone to ask let alone trust to watch our cat while out of the country for business. After doing some research and finding Melissa here on yelp, we felt confident in giving her services a go. She exceeded our expectations! She sent us pics of him everyday which helped settled our nerves big time. She cuddled him, played with his toys and even ran out to grab new litter when his supply ran out. We came home to a clean pet area and happy cat! We'll absolutely use Melissa again and will recommend her to anyone needing their pets loved on while away from home!! read more

Melissa and her team are a godsend to my pets! She's been working with our dogs for several years now, and she never lets us down. We get nice notes when we return home to let us know how the dogs did. I'm always sure that my dogs will be well cared for with Melissa. read more

Used them again and Monique is as awesome as the first time. It really is a great thing when you can enjoy a vacation knowing your fur face babies are being well taken care of. It was a short couple day trips but we will be having some extensive vacations soon and will need them again. No doubt I'll be using Melissa and Monique again. Thank you ladies. read more

I am absolutely thrilled to have found Melissa. I have never before had someone other than family or friends help watch over my fur babies. I was at ease the moment that I met & welcomed her into my home. I've traveled often in 2015 and each time I am excited to come home. When I return my house is peaceful and each of my animals are relaxed & happy. Something you cannot truly understand until you put your trust in someone. We will continue to use her company for any occasion that may arise. She has changed our lives and opened our hearts. Thank you very much! read more

I'm a fellow pet sitter and I only trust my own crew's care to Melissa! She does a fabulous job, is very detail oriented, and she really knows animals. When I come home, the house looks just as I left it, and the crew is content and happy. What a great peace of mind she provides! read more

We used CPPSS for the first time this weekend (last minute) when we had to go out of town. Melissa was able to get us scheduled. Jamie was our sitter and she arrived on time for our meet and greet. While away we received updates and pics of our 2 dogs as requested. Last minute request to give allergy medicine was no problem! We arrived back home to happy pets! When Jamie came by to return our key, she brought a tennis ball and squeaky toy for the 'kids'. So sweet! We will use them next time we need a sitter. Thank you for taking good care of our puppies. read more

Melissa is as good as it gets. I first hired Melissa as a pet taxi to bring my Westie to our wedding reception. She got him dressed in his tuxedo and brought him to our reception. Thanks to Melissa, Riley was able to be part of our special day. A few weeks after our wedding our family schedule changed. We called Melissa back to see if she was available a few days a week to spend with our Riley so he wouldn't be home alone for ten hours. Our fur baby is so happy on the days when Melissa visits. He has a huge smile on his face, and you can tell he is well loved. I get little updates on what they did that day, and she is very flexible. If you need pet sitting services, I highly recommend Cedar Park Pet Sitting Services. read more

I can't rave enough about Melissa and Monique. We've used them numerous times for everything from a long day trip to 1-2 week trips out of town. They've come to the rescue multiple times when last minute commitments have called us out of town for the day. We have two indoor cats and a very active dog, and rely on CPPS for feeding them, cleaning litter boxes, walking the dog, getting mail, and even watering plants. We haven't made life easy, as all the animals are on raw diets that require weighing, and we have a finicky alarm system. These ladies are rock stars. read more

Absolutely love them! We have a 14 year old dalmatian and a 1 year old cat and we trust Monique completely with them. She is very good to both pets and I can tell they feel more than comfortable with her caring for them. Melissa is very responsive and very easy to talk to if you have any concerns or questions. read more

If you want the best pet sitting in town, you better call Melissa. We borded our cat one time, and he came home in pieces, and that's when decided no more, and we found Melissa. Why even bother shleping your pet anywhere when she can provide in home and friendly service. 5+ stars. I am the worst about up and leaving at the last minute, and she is always accommodating. She treats your pets as one of the family. I'll never forget the first time we came home and there progress reports about my pet and how he was doing. Seriously? I mean, how much better can you get than that. I honestly can not say enough amazing things about her service. If you're in Austin, and need someone to watch your babies, this is the woman you need to talk to. read more

I reached out to Melissa based on her other glowing reviews, and she did not disappoint! From the very beginning she was extremely responsive and easy to work with. I was looking for a pet sitter to watch my 15 year old bengal cat and 1 year old hedgehog while my husband and I were away on our wedding and honeymoon. Both of my fur babies can be a little finicky and come with some not-so-glamorous maintenance tasks. Melissa happily took on the job. I trusted her completely while I was away. She even sent me emails to keep me updated, and left cute cards describing her time with the girls. She helped me again this past Christmas when we went home to NY for a few days, and it was the same great experience! I would recommend Melissa over and over again! She genuinely cares for your animals, which is what makes her fantastic! read more

I, like most people who love their pets, am very particular with whom I leave my pets. I moved to Austin knowing no one and found Melissa based on some other reviews, so I hope this one helps another person feel confident about choosing her. She is absolutely trustworthy. She went out of her way to meet me early one morning before I left for work so I could meet her for the first time before she walked my dog later that day. And she always leaves a wonderful note about how my dog is. I feel like she genuinely cares. She's great! read more

Monica and Monique came through for me last-minute when a neighborhood pet-sitter stopped answering my texts. Very thankful for their professionalism, they've already earned my trust. read more

Melissa was referred to me from a friend who had been using her for years. She is great. I trust her implicitly with my 5 cats. She sends me texts while I am out of town letting me know how my "babies" are. I have no qualms about leaving them with her. Thanks Melissa. read more

After a not so great experience w/ another pet sitting company, I tried CPPSS and I am SOOO glad I did!!! We were lucky enough to have Monique walking our little guy, and she was affectionate and kind w/ him from the first time we all met. Monique would text me photos of Charlie when they were out and about, and he was always happy and smiling. There were times that I called Melissa at the last minute because something came up at work, and she and Monique would take care of our canine son, no problem!! I can't say how much this meant to us!!! It was very hard for us to say goodbye when my husband's career took us to San Antonio last year. If we find ourselves back in the CP area, my first call will be to CPPSS! read more

We can not say enough great things about Cedar Park Pet Sitting. Melissa is great with coordination with our sitter Jamie. Jamie is just the best! We were out of town with limited cell service but we were at ease knowing she was checking in on our babies. She would send updates daily and our fur babies just love her. It's awesome to know our babies can feel comfortable at home and we have such an awesome service checking on them. read more
