Veterinary Technician Student

Pet care experience

I'm a recent graduate and I now have a bachelor degree Science, majored in Animal Science. Currently I’m a seventh quarter Veterinary Technician Student. In the past I’ve cared for other peoples dogs and farm animals, aside from the ones I grew up around. Since then I've been a vet assistant and have worked in different boarding kennels where I got to know the different dogs and learned how to properly administer medications and injections to dogs with special needs and care instructions. I have experience caring for older dogs as well, I had my dog Kia from 10 till she was almost 15. Now that I just have Marcus and only do house sitting if I can bring him along, he loves making new friends. He is well behaved, doesn’t get on furniture, fully house trained, and only chews designated toys. We’ve been doing daily walks now with spring in the works, and would love to have your dog along for our adventures! P.S. if you have any farm or exotic animals I’m definitely willing to watch them as well! Looking forward to meeting you and your pet!

Melissa was great! She stayed at least 30 minutes each visit to feed the pups and keep them company. Will definitely book her again.

Melissa was absolutely amazing! We were a little apprehensive about leaving our nervous pup but she handled him with love and grace. We were updated daily with photos and our Trout made a new friend as well. I would highly recommend Melissa.

Melissa is very responsive and took great care of my pup. He can be unpredictable and our routine has been very off after recently moving to Billings. I am very thankful to have found her and look forward to re-booking her services!

Melissa was perfect for Marlie. This was the first time in 5 years we left Marlie in our RV and had a sitter come over to walk her. Melissa was kind and loving to Marlie during the meet and greet. We would definitely use her again.
