Born & Raised An Animal Lover

Pet care experience

I was born and raised on a 300 acre cattle farm. We had three houses and 2 barns. I was so blessed enough to have the experience of raising animals from birth. My mother was a veterinarian technician for 15 plus years growing up. I would frequently visit her office where I had the opportunity to watch many medical procedures. This all developed into a deep love and passion for animals.

Melissa was amazing with communicating and sending us pictures of our sweet girl. She took great care of our little Darla and I would definitely use her next time. Thanks again?

Information Melissa Z. would like to know about your pet

Throughout my years of animal care I’ve been exposed to many different breeds of dogs. I am able to adapt to dog’s behaviors and special needs. I will request that any key information is provided so that I can provide the highest level of care for your fur baby. I am unable to accept aggressive or potentially aggressive dogs, for the safety of my family and other dogs in my care. Please be aware I accept multiple bookings, which may mean there will be other furbabies present at the time of your stay. Feel free to inquire about dates if multiple dogs/ cats maybe of your concern. I require current vaccinations records be sent prior to stay, it's VERY important that we all keep all of our furbabies safe, happy and healthy!

A typical day

I have three children that are very active. My daughter plays softball so we will go in the backyard and she will hit wiffle balls, the dogs love catching them and bringing them back for her to bat. The kids will ride their bikes while I walk the dogs around the neighborhood. The fenced in backyard is the best place to rip, run and burn off energy.
