Pet care experience

Pet Lover!

Hi there- I'm an experience pet parent with one three year old Shih Tzu currently but have had two others who have passed. I’ve also had cats though I don’t have any currently. I love animals and believe they are one of the best gifts of life. I know first hand the stress of being away and worrying if your animals are being safely cared for and would be happy to help take care of yours. I'm available for outside dog walks, stop-in visits for a little play time and a treat, overnight visits in your home and/or longer-term care for vacations and holidays.

Words can’t express how grateful I am for Melissa! I just got my puppy baby a month or so ago so I was extremely anxious, but the first visit I know my fur baby I would be fine. Coco loved being there and Melissa was a great communicator and sent pics , etc daily :-) Melissa is now apart of Coco’s village :-) She is Amazing

Let me know if your baby has any special needs or requires anything in particular to make them comfortable. I'm experienced with senior pets and can give medication as needed.
