I love adventuring with fur-friends
Pet care experience
I understand the importance of having a reliable and responsible critter sitter. I can speak from personal experience the value of having peace of mind when you are away from your fur-child. You want to know that their activities are normal. They're eating and drinking okay, exercising, and taking care of their private business outside. Making sure they're not getting bored and turning your house into an upside-down circus helps keep the peace in your lifestyle. I also understand the importance of keeping more senior pets on track with their medication schedules be it eye drops, insulin shots, ear washing, pills, or keeping a medical procedure site clean and sterile for a healthy recovery. They've been with you a long time and just need a bit extra care. They're family.
Reviews
Melissa Kirby is one of the most kindness and honest people I know. She is dependable and hardworking. She is considerent and very responsible. She cares deeply about people and is always striving to make people happy. I do not think there is a mean bone in her body. She loves children and animals. She is gentle and caring. She will do what is asked of her and will put her obligations and commitments first and foremost. She is truly a blessing!
Wonderful! So punctual. Melissa is so very caring and atenative to our pets. We have a dog and two cats and she’s so good with them. She keeps us updated and we always come home to a clean house.

Safety, trust & environment
I have experience taking care of senior pets. Our family pets in particular delt with some unique health challenges as they aged. I am comfortable administering medications because I have had 5 years experience working as a medic in the Air National Guard. I like to keep my visits in other's homes neat and tidy and sending cute animal photos of your pet and home is not a problem at all! I like to keep owners updated so they can have peace of mind.
Information Melissa K. would like to know about your pet
Do they like to bark? If so, no big deal, just give me a heads up so I know what to expect. Also, if they are a jumper. I'm not offended but I don't want them to learn something the owner will have to un-teach. Also, if they get along with other dogs or if they're a one-on-one dog.
A typical day
I love running, walking and playing fetch. I am originally from the Spokane area in Washington. It has a wealth of locations for outdoor sports and it's a blessing to share with "Man's best friend." I am new to the Anchorage area and I'm most comfortable with locations near the Ted Stevens Airport because of its easy accessibility from where I live.

Availability
I am currently employed full-time with Alaska Airlines as a flight attendant. So I am best able to support pop in visits for pets that can be left alone a day or two because I sometimes have trips that take me out of town. On my off days, I have more availability. I am off Sunday evenings, Monday's and Tuesdays for the month of September 2023.
