Lots of love for your pet

Pet care experience

I am a veterinary technician with over 25 years of experience dealing with animals. I grew up on a farm. Then went off to college to become a veterinary technician. I worked in the Animal Emergency Room and ICU for 10 years. Now, I am taking a small break to have a family. While I try tailor every job to the individual and their needs, my main objective is to take care of your animals while you are away. Initially, I come into your home, meeting you and your beloved family members. Then if you are running late and unable to get home, you have a doctors appointment after work and you are unable to get home to take care of your animal, I can come in to take care of them. Say your pet needs their medication and you are unable to do it, I come in to give them their medications. Then after every time I come into your home, you get a text or call telling you how your pet is doing. I also offer in my home pet sitting. Say you have a bad back & you need someone to come in to bathe your pets & clean up after them, give me a call, I offer these services also.

Melissa was fantastic. She and her family took great care of my dog for a full week. She has knowledge of dogs and is very comfortable and natural interacting with them. Her yard is perfectly fenced in with lots of room for a dog to roam. I will definitely be using her again!

Melissa and her boys made my two dogs feel right at home right from the start. My dogs have a lot of energy and they were returned happy and healthy and in great spirits (maybe even a little tired). Her communication and response time was great. She also provided photos of my dogs regularly which allowed me peace of mind while I was away. I look forward to her caring for them again. Tom

Melissa has been a real lifesaver for me many, many times. She's great with both my pets (a rambunctious cat and anxious dog) and can often come over on short notice. She is a great communicator and definitely will take great care of your animals! Highly recommend!
