Dependable, friendly, loves animals

Pet care experience

I’m an environmental educator at a non-profit nature center and I’ve taken care of animals for friends and family for 10 years. I have experience caring for all kinds of dogs from puppies to seniors. Care has included walking dogs, house sitting, and drop in visits. I have experience caring for cats and own a cat myself. I also have experience in administering medications to animals including pills and insulin injections. I love dogs, cats, and animals of all kinds, have experience working at a zoo, and experience caring for amphibians including turtles and frogs.

Melissa was so great with Duke. He took to her right away and brought her his toys to play. She checked in with us to let us know how he was doing and sent us photos of him. He seemed very happy and well cared for when we got home. Thank you so much Melissa!

Melissa was wonderful with our Golden Retriever Bailey. She kept us posted on how our girl Bailey was doing and even sent pictures. We will definitely request Melissa again!❤️

Melissa is a very dependable loving pet sitter. She has watched our dog Bailey multiple times and Bailey loves seeing her. Bailey looks forward to her walks and Melissa is more than accommodating in taking her.

Melissa has taken care of my two dogs many times. They are always happy to see her and know they will get lots of love and walks. My oldest dog takes several medications and Melissa has always been able to administer them as needed. She takes extra care to keep anything harmful out of reach of our mischievous dog who likes to jump on counters, dig through the trash and open cupboards when you’re not looking. Highly attentive and reliable. Highly recommend!
