Vet Assistant

Hi there! My friends call me Melissa Kay. I have been a certified veterinarian assistant since 2010 and have transitioned into being a stay-at-home mom in the recent years and am looking to cater to animals again since my daughter has started school. My skills at the Pet Hospital has given me a vast variety of experiences with all things related to domestic pets. These skills included, bathing, walking, vaccinating, administering medication and running our dog boarding services amongst other responsibilities of a pet hospital. You name it and I’ll do it. I’m a lover of all things pets and will care for yours as if they were mine and will make them feel like they are apart of our family. Feel free to ask any questions. I’ll be more than happy to help in any way that I can.

Melissa went above and beyond with two major storm events occurring while I was away and Melissa checking that the pets and the house were all well during these uncertain times.

Melissa was able to help out at the last minute, and on a holiday! She was very responsive and communicated great about care info with the animals. She took great care of my babies.
