Pet care experience

Whether you would like your pup taken on a walk, your guinea pig visited with, or your cat needs a trip to the vet, I’m your gal. Living on a farm since my childhood and now owning one myself has given me more than ample experience with a wide variety of animals to include, horses, donkeys, goats, sheep, cattle, pigs, alpacas, llamas, cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, turkeys, chickens, guinea hens, peacocks, and even exotics like kangaroos and camels. My services include, but are not limited to: Dog walks, cat visits, feeding, administration of medication, holding horses for the farrier, paddock and stall cleaning, transportation to and from the vet or groomer, plant watering, mail pick-up. Any services not listed that you need customized to the care of your pet can be arranged.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Melissa Fritz. I was heading out of the country and desperate to find someone I could trust—not only with my dogs and cats, but with my horses, alpacas, goats, and chickens too. That’s a tall order, but Melissa exceeded every expectation. From the moment we first connected, I felt completely at ease. She took the time to get to know each animal, learn their routines, and asked all the right questions. Her background in both pet care and farm animals really shows. While I was away, she kept me updated with messages and photos, and I could see how happy and relaxed my animals were under her care. It’s rare to find someone so caring, responsible, and knowledgeable. Melissa truly treated my animals and property as if they were her own. Coming home to calm, well-loved animals and a tidy barnyard was the biggest relief. If you're looking for someone you can truly trust with your pets and farm animals, Melissa is it. I won’t use anyone else!
