Pet care experience

Your pet is in good hands with me!

I have grown up with and been around all types of animals my entire life. I believe growing up and working on a dairy farm has made me appreciate the trust and bond that can be developed with an animal if you love them, care for them, and show them respect. I currently have 2 dogs, 2 cats, a chicken, 2 rabbits and a horse. I spend most of my free time with my pets and have worked with and trained my 2 dogs when I rescued them as puppies. I often watch and care for my friends and families' pets when they are away. I have also volunteered at various Humane Societies while in college. I believe that you will not find a bigger animal lover than me!

Melissa does so well with sunny. She comes in on time, and made it so much easier for us as my wife had surgery and I was working from home. Highly highly recommend. I never worry where sunny is or what hes up to and he loves seeing her.

Melissa was fantastic. She came by for a meet and great to get all the instructions of our animals who are a little "exta". My dog loved her. He was texting me our whole trip how nice Melissa was. High suggested !
