Pet care experience

I’ve always had a natural connection with animals and truly enjoy spending time with them. I’m confident handling different temperaments and routines, and I take pride in making pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their families are away.

I’ve known Melissa for years, and I’ve seen firsthand how great she is with animals. She’s a dependable and thoughtful pet caregiver who really pays attention to each pet’s needs. Whether it’s sticking to routines, giving them attention, or handling the unexpected, she’s calm, capable, and kind. I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets!
