Hi, I’m Melissa! I am a highly passionate & experienced pet caretaker with over 5 years of working professionally with Rover! As a life-long animal lover & owner myself, I feel so lucky to have been able to build a career providing exceptional care for them. I take the health & happiness of our four-legged babies very much to heart. I was raised in a household where the animals are family members & will be treated as such whether it was the dog, cat, guinea pig, rabbit, hamster, fish...you name it! My pup clients have ranged from tiny Yorkies up to giant Great Danes spanning in age 7 weeks-18 years. And cats have become about half of my business! I was a cat obsessed child & all my amazing kitty klients have reawakened that for me as an adult. I am currently mom to 6 year old Dorothy & 1.5 year old Dawson, both Pomeranian rescues! They light up my life daily & I couldn’t imagine life without them. You can read more about them under My Pets! My previous babies are Bailey, a chihuahua I adopted at birth-she made it to 17- & my first Pom rescue, Bobby, who passed at 11. I have a lot of experience with special needs/senior pets & have the biggest soft spot for them! With a professional background of over 15 years in emergency communications, safety & security are a top priority when it comes to not only protecting your pets but your residence & personal property as well. I am also Red Cross certified in Pet CPR & keep their first aid kit handy just as a precaution. I would love the opportunity to gain your trust & give you the peace of mind that your little one(s) are well looked after when you can’t be there yourself. Because a house just isn’t a home without them!
