Highlights
Pet care experience
Your critter's new best friend
I've cared for a wide variety of animals for more than 25 years. From chaotic puppies to high needs seniors, from mice to horses, from dogs the size of livestock to livestock the size of dogs (the Great Dane and the miniature cow used the same doggy door!). There isn't much I haven't seen, and not much I can't handle. Whether they are strong, skittish, spicy, or special needs, I am here to support you and make your time away from your beloved friend as stress-free as possible for both of you. Cat needs insulin injections? Sure. Dog on chemo? Been there, done that. Goats won't eat unless you sing Frank Sinatra to them during breakfast? That one was a little odd, but they didn't seem to mind my being off-key.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
My goal is to understand your pet's routine and needs, and fit myself into that as seamlessly as possible. I will help you stay consistent with training. For active pets, I am very happy to take them into the outdoors, on hikes and other adventures.
Ratings and reviews
Melissa was a lovely sitter for our miniature indoor dog and cat farm! She was incredibly communicative and punctual and I would 100% recommend her to others.

Schedule
I work remotely on a flexible schedule, so I am easily able to accomodate your pet's particular needs. I recently lost my beloved dog of >16 years, so I have no pets of my own to care for at the moment and a lot of love to share.
