Pet care experience

Full time stay at home mom

Hi! My name is Melissa, and I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I currently have three cats of my own who are a big part of our family, and I previously cared for two beloved dogs for many years before I lost them to old age. Through my own pets, I've gained hands on experience with feeding, administering medications when needed, daily walks, playtime, grooming, and recognizing when something isn't quite right. In addition to cats and dogs, I also have experience caring for hamsters and reptiles, so I'm comfortable looking after a variety of pets and following detailed care instructions. As a stay at home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable, attentive care. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets because I feel the same way about my own. I'll treat your pets with patience, kindness, and the same love and attention I give my own animals. Whether your pet needs drop in visits, playtime, feeding, walks, or just some extra companionship while you're away, I'd love the opportunity to help and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I know every pet has their own routine, so I take the time to follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, litter box cleaning, and any special care they may need. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat both your home and your pets with the utmost respect. I'll make sure your pet has fresh food and water, plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I'm attentive to changes in behavior and will contact you immediately if I notice anything concerning. I believe in creating a calm, low stress environment where pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for just as they would with their own family.

I highly recommend Melissa for any pet-related care or responsibilities. She has boarded my mischievous Siberian Husky (no easy task--as husky owners know!), and house-sat for us for prolonged vacations caring for the husky and a mini-Aussie mix who is very high strung. My dogs love her! She has also cared for dogs with medical and medication needs, and is cat-experienced also. Very reliable, skilled, warm, and caring!
