Highlights
Pet care experience
Care, Play, Love - Repeat!
My passion for animals began in childhood - always having a dog and cat, along with various other critters (e.g. ferret, hedgehog, sugar glider, etc.). As an adult pet owner, I’ve been privileged to have the companionship of a cat who lived to the ripe old age of 19 and 5 wonderful dogs, 3 of which have sadly been lost to cancer. I currently have two large, mixed breed rescue dogs - one senior and one young adult. Throughout the years, I have cared for pets of several friends and neighbors. I also have experience dealing with various short and long term ailments/illnesses with my own pets. I pride myself on attention to detail when it comes to the care of our “furry” family members! **Note: due to a negative childhood experience, I am unable to provide care to German Shepherd dogs

Ratings and reviews
Delightful and enthusiastic person who loves dogs
As always, Forest was a happy boy on our return! We also got amazing pictures which always makes me happy!
Amazing every single time!
Melissa takes such good care of our kitty. She sends lots of pictures and gives updates! Highly recommend!
Melissa is AMAZING! She goes above and beyond with her care of our cat Milli. She keeps her well feed, loved, and spends extra time to make sure our kitten is well played with. She even goes the extra mile to make sure the pet areas of our home stay clean while we are away. Thank you Melissa!!
Melissa is fantastic!

Schedule
I typically have plenty of availability and time to visit with your pet! My spouse occasionally travels for work, so that may impact my schedule from time to time. Also worth noting… my own dogs are experiencing some health and behavioral challenges that occasionally require more of my attention.
