Pet care experience

Caring,loving, highly attentive

Hi. I’m Melissa. I have been caring and loving pets since toddler age, and professionally for 4 years. I am flexible with days and times. I am a retired Registered Nurse with over 10 years of nursing experience and a clean license. If you need pet services, I am conscientious, loving and energetic. I can administer pet meds, vitamins, give baths. I am a natural with dogs and cats. I am even willing to care for bunnies. I love taking pictures and videos of dogs or cats fun time and daily routines, and will gladly keep you updated on how they are doing. I would love to take care of your dog/dogs and/or cats and am available 24/7 unless I’m already booked. Please provide a list of instructions (how many walks, food, mileage on walks). I am also available to take care of chickens and other small animals. I am unable to provide services for pit bulls. Thank you and have a lovely day!

There aren’t enough stars in our universe to give Melissa a proper review. She is a true blessing from God. I knew from the second she gracefully walked in our home God sent us an angel to watch over our babies. As a matter of fact, it was all 3 of our pets that instantly bonded with her, on her first visit. Melissa has impeccable attention to details. She took tremendous great care of all our pets while we were away for almost 3 weeks! She provided photos and recaps every single day. To a T. More importantly, we could see the happiness in our babies eyes from the photos how happy they were in Melissa’s care. Like they say “a picture speaks 1000 words.” This alone is the greatest comfort and relief and worry free feeling you can have on a vacation, which is priceless. In addition, Melissa took care of our pool, yard, flowers and everything! Even things we didn’t ask for. She treated our home like it was hers. It was such a joy to come back home and all our flowers healthy and everything looked like the day we left. My wife and I are both incredibly grateful for Melissa and Rover. We really look forward in having Melissa in our home again soon. Good is great. ALL THE TIME.

Melissa gave Liberty and Pause tremendous love and attention. She played with them and fed them just as I asked. The house was neat when I got home so we could reunite. Loved and appreciated the photos and videos. I will be booking future dates with Melissa.
