Pets

Caring For Animal For 15 Years.

Pet care experience

I have taken care of animals since I was 15. I started working for a groomer as a bather for 7 years and have worked at Animal Care of Gloucester for 7 years. I am very well experienced in the their well being, animal behavior, walking, feeding, medicating, bathing. I would love to be able to help take care of animals in my free time. From puppies to seniors I have worked with them all. I am currently working looking for work but I would love to spend my free time taking care of animals. I do have my son every other weekend, so I will be available for pet sitting overnight every other weekend. I live at the end of a quarter mile dirt road off of the main streets, I do not have a fenced in yard but am able to leash walk as many times a day as needed. I have 5 babies of my own, 1 dogs, 2 cats, and a cockatiel that are very friendly and live other animals. I can easily crate if needed and provided and have a pet safe home.

Melissa did a tremendous job taking care of my dog in my home while I was away. When I returned my dog acted as if I had never left. Once you meet Melissa it is apparent the great love and care she has for all pets. I have utilized her multiple times and recommended her to friends. They all had great things to say about her care for their family pets.

Melissa has the unique and special ability to bond with animals, especially dogs. Animals are drawn to her as they inherently understand her love and compassion for them. Bonus - she has an amazing personality and positive attitude that is a joy to be around. Melissa has over 17 years of professional experience taking loving care of all types of dog breeds which makes her the only one I would trust with my precious fur babies!

I’ve known Melissa C. for 15 years and have worked with her at both a Pet Grooming business, as well as, a Veterinary Hospital. Melissa is reliable and conscientious. One of her loves in life are animals. She is highly trained in the Animal Industry and will bring her skill set to her pet care duties. Her compassion and patience for animals is uncompromising and I trusted her implicitly with my pet while she was alive.
