Vet tech and animal lover!

Pet care experience

Hi there! I work as a veterinary technician at a small animal clinic in Missoula. I have worked in veterinary medicine since 2014. I understand animal behavior and their needs. If your pet has medical issues, I can safely administer medications or injections and know what to watch for in case of emergency. If your pet is willing, I can do nail trims or routine ear cleaning if needed. I am Fear Free certified in gentle animal handling and my goal is to always make your pet feel as comfortable as possible. I have experience with exotic pets as well if you are looking for a bird, reptile, or pocket pet sitter. I grew up on a farm and have cared for horses and cattle. I promise to provide a loving, safe environment for your pet, and treat your pet like I treat my own. Pets are family!

Melanie did a great job with my 3 labs. She was responsive and on time. Good job!

Melanie has done a great job with Beans. She obviously loves dogs and has taken him on some great hikes. She handles him very well such that I trust her to keep him safe which is big for me - probably for all dog owners. I also appreciate that she has been a vet tech for many years. She knows dogs and would trust her in any emergency that might arise.

Melanie was great! She was attentive, quick to respond, and best of all: sent me a bunch of photos. :)
