I'm a Vet-Med Student

Pet care experience

I have watched rooms full of 20+ dogs before where I had to constantly be taking them for walks and I absolutely loved it! I am studying to be a vet so I take pride in how I work with animals. I can come and drop in and do walks before and after classes. In the summer my classes are done by 3 pm on most days, but on days that I am released later I can always drop by during my lunch break. I also have experience taking care of horses, cats, rabbits, birds, and tortoises so if you have more than just a dog, I'm the sitter for you. As far as house stays go, I would be able to stay full time or just part time depending on your level of comfort. I hope to get to meet your wonderful pets soon!

Melissa was great with our pets. We would definitely use her again as a dog caregiver!

Melissa stayed at our house for a week and took care of our 6 month old lab. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Melissa sent pictures of Gus throughout the week. It was obvious that he was encouraged to be active and was well taken care of. I would highly recommend Melissa to others and look forward to having her help us out in the future.

Excellent, kind, and gentle care for all kinds of pets. Expect your pet to be happy and learn a new trick or two. Melissa trained our cats commands such as sit, up and down and to answer to their names (out loud). Our Dog learned how to back up with a "beep beep" command. She has cared for our neighbors horses and dogs and they love her. HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION

Melissa is the best doggy sitter I ever had. She clearly loves all animals and all animals clearly love her! Plus, she is a vet in training. Who better to entrust your pet to than someone who is dedicating their life to helping them?
