My soul purpose is to help others

Pet care experience

I've always had pets in my life and feel connected to them on a deeper level. They are more than just a companion. They have souls too. They need love and care just like humans. I habe never met an animal I didn't connect with or that didn't love me. When I was growing up my mom found home for 57 animals in 10 years. People would drop animals off in our driveway because they knew we would take them in. I've helped with numerous letters of cats and dogs being born and also rescued injured wild animals such as birds, bunnies and squirrels. I am a single mom with a 10 year old son who also loves animals and work from home which allows me plenty of flexibility to fit your pets needs into my day. I will respect and care for your pet based on your instructions. I know they are used to certain care and demeanor so I want to keep them as happy and comfortable as I can when you aren't available. Any time I make a visit or stay, I will make sure that your home is left in the same manner as when I arrived and I will carry out your instructions for care to the best of my abilities.

Can’t say enough about Melissa and her care of our pups… and frankly the puppy parents as well! Daily texts and fun pictures. It was a great vacation for us knowing that our fur babies were getting so much love and attention! Hope Melissa will want to hang out with the pups again sometime!! We will be asking.
