The best a pet can get.

Pet care experience

I have always had animals from the time I was 7 years old I grew up with goats, chickens, dogs, cats, rabbits. I now own two little 70 lb babies (my pitties). I recently graduated for OSU with a degree in zoology, so my love for animals is extremely large.

Melissa did a wonderful job with our cat while we were away on vacation last week! Our cat is usually very shy around new people, however she bonded very quickly with Melissa! I looked forward to the daily pics she would send me & the updates! It was really nice having the peace of mind that she was well looked after while we were away. Melissa was very reliable each day & went above & beyond!

Melissa watch my dogs for me multiple times when I have been out of town, she shows up whenever asked, keeps me updated and my dogs always seem so happy when I get back home from where I am at. My dog once had a ear infection and Melissa went out of her way to clean my dogs ears and let me know that they were looking red and she offered to take her to the vet for me since I was going to be out of town for a few more days. When I told her she did not have to do that she went out of her way to run to her house and get the ear wash she uses for her dogs and cleaned my dogs ear out and had her ear looking much better when I got home. Also before I left on this trip I did not have my AC on because it was not supposed to get hot, the second day she came to my house she made sure to let me know that my house was hot and that she was turning on my AC for my dogs, she even turned a fan on low to face their crates so they were not to hot until the house cooled down. I trust Melissa with my dogs because I have known her since high school and she has always had a love for animals, and she treats her dogs and all dogs as if they are her children. She also is going to school for Zoology, if that doesn’t say enough about her love for animals I don’t know what will. Melissa is about the only person my dogs have come to love and the first person I call when I need help with them.

Melissa is my greatest childhood friend. As long as I’ve known her, she has ALWAYS had, and shown immense love, for her animals. My testimony for that, would simply be shown by the love she had shown for a stray cat. Melissa lived in the country, rural Ohio - to be exact. She also lived on a fairly busy state road, so stray animals were kind of unheard of in her area. One day, a scraggly old, sickly cat stumbled upon her porch. We were only teenagers… and Melissa’s mother didn’t want ANYTHING to do with this cat. But, Melissa? Oh, Melissa wanted to make it HER cat. She named him Leroy. She nursed him back to health, and just like that - her and Leroy became best friends. Leroy lived another several years in her care, before his age finally got the best of him… but Melissa made sure to make his final years in his journey, some of the best he probably ever had. Melissa has also always had an array of dogs, of all shapes and sizes. And not to mention, she is literally in college at THEE Ohio State University - majoring in Zoology. She is literally the perfect fit, for a job that involves animals.
