Pet care experience

Animal-loving Teacher!

I’ve been a pet owner of cats and dogs all my life. I’ve also owned lizards and a Guinea Pig. I’m currently a teacher, but went to school at first to be a veterinarian. I worked at a veterinarian’s office as a kennel technician. I am very patient and put others’ needs before my own.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

My own dog is selective, so I will not be hosting pets at my own house. In your home, I will follow all directions and supervise your dog while in the yard per most HOA rules. I’ve given all types of medications in a variety of ways.

Melissa was a fabulous pet sitter. Already took to her right off and he is not a social cat. I loved getting all the pictures you could tell that he was healthy and happy and that he just adored Melissa. Everything was kept neat and clean. All together she was wonderful and I will definitely have her back if I need a pet sitter again.
