Love Me some Fur Babies

Pet care experience

I am the happy mother of three rescued fur babies and two adult children. One of my fur babies has been trained to be an emotional support dog and knows some sign language. They love children. My husband and I are empty nesters. I have been an RVT (registered Vet Tech) at several animal clinics and hospitals in town and in California. I am capable of giving medication subcue and including injections, along withthe needs diabetic dogs or those with special needs. If you need help with behavior issues such as leash walking Im your gal. I love wet kisses from sloppy fur babies. I havnt found anything yet that has changed my mind about these sweet creatures and if I could have 10 of my own I would. Since that is not possible the next best thing is to help others take care of their fur babies.

Mel was so helpful and caring. She sent us pictures and messages to let us know how our dog, Radar, was doing while we were away. We could really tell Radar enjoyed staying with her and her family. We will definitely want Mel to watch our dogs again!
