Realtor with a passion for pets
Pet care experience
Former KCPP employee with medication administering experience, separation anxiety and resource guarding experience and a passion for animals. I moved from New Jersey to Missouri in Dec. of 2019 to make the switch from the fast-paced corporate world to a place where I could pursue other interests while living affordably. I have previous experience feeding, walking, administering medicine, housing, and caring for both dogs and cats. I have had two large dogs of my own, one growing up and one now. I have a 12 year old diabetic cat (in remission now) and worked in the feline dept at KCPP. I also volunteered at an animal shelter caring for the cats and kittens by feeding, cleaning their living areas, and providing general organization. I’ve recently started pet sitting in the owners’ home, taking care of their pets and home while they’re away. There’s no need to cause any unnecessary stress and anxiety to a pet by uprooting them while you’re gone. Please feel free to reach out for references.
Reviews
I am so grateful to have found Melissa to housesit my fur babies (2 cats) while I was away. From our first interaction she was friendly, personable, and knowledgeable about cat needs from her professional and personal experience with them. We set up a meet and greet the week before my trip and I introduced her to Monk, my senior kitty and Howl, my 4 month kitten who I never left alone before so I was pretty nervous. Howl fell asleep in Melissa’s arms within minutes which I took as a pretty great sign she was his pick. Melissa sent me updates with photos daily and stayed in constant communication so I felt very comfortable and at ease knowing she was taking great care of my cats. Melissa also made sure the community cats I feed were cared for and given special treatment. I’d definitely ask Melissa to watch my babies again if I need to travel.
Melissa is a hero. I truly appreciate how she happily agreed to watch my cats and house on short notice so I could attend a funeral in another state. She was so kind and supportive during a tough time, and kept me updated on how the cats were doing. I can’t thank her enough!
Melissa was the Rover we were looking for! She follows directions, cares about my pets and has a great personality. My pets range from small to large and strong - and she handles them with care and precision. I've already recommended her to friends and neighbors.
Melissa was great! She took great care of our dog. She was very communicative and sent pictures everyday. Thanks Melissa!!

I will treat the pet as if it were my own. I have my own medical needs cat and a French bulldog with health issues therefore I would treat your animals with same level of care as I do my own.
Information Melissa A. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know if their are any special needs the dog may need and to meet him or her before accepting the job. I do not have any restrictions against any dogs except for ones with aggressive behavior.
A typical day
Will take dog to the park, walks around the neighborhood, and play with them. I will keep them company while you’re away and make sure they are well taken care of.

I’m working part time and as a realtor so I’m usually only out a few hours at a time. With that being said, I suggest sending me a message to coordinate, answer any questions you may have and to see if we’re a good fit.
