Pet care experience

Animal lover here to help :)

I’ve loved animals my whole life — I’ve had cats and dogs since I was five and spent my summers helping on a family friend’s farm. To say, I am very well versed in the animal world, as I have cared for tortoises, fish, hamsters and all kinds of other babies than just claws and paws! Please to not be afraid to ask! & understand that every animal is different, with their own quirks and needs. I treat each one like my own, with patience, love, and attention. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or calm company, I make sure your pets feel safe and happy while you’re away. Also, just for transparency, I do typically work part-time as a waitress on the weekends. However this is a very flexible schedule and would be more than happy and change it as needed to care for your babies!

Melissa was amazing with our dog! She sent multiple photos of them on walks and him very comfortably lounging on their couch. Will definitely use her services again. Thank you!

Melissa did awesome with my dogs and cat! She was very tentative, provided constant communication and sent us plenty of awesome pictures of our babies while we were away! We are the definition of helicopter parents and Melissa made us feel so at ease making use feel assured they were given lots of care and attention! Definitely will be utilizing her services in the future:)

Melissa-Elizabeth is one of the most caring and dependable people I know, and animals seem to love her right away. She’s naturally great with pets and really pays attention to their needs, whether that’s making sure they get a good walk, some playtime, or just a little extra attention. She’s responsible, patient, and someone you can absolutely trust with your pets. Melissa-Elizabeth treats animals like they’re her own and always makes sure they’re safe, comfortable, and happy. Any pet parent would be lucky to have her looking after their pets.

Schedule

I have Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays off each week, and I’m looking to fill that time doing something truly rewarding and fun — spending it with animals! Caring for pets isn’t just something I enjoy; it’s something that makes my days brighter. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or quiet company, I love giving animals the care and happiness they deserve.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet will always be safe, trusted, and well cared for in my home. I have one friendly outdoor cat who keeps himself busy, and I’m mindful about making sure visiting pets feel comfortable and secure. I also have a large crate that can fit medium to small dogs if needed, along with clean food and water bowls ready to go.
