Equal opportunity cat & pup lover!

Pet care experience

Between the years spent with my beagle, Pearl, and now my chihuahua-mixes, Special Agent Dale Cooper and Annie Blackburn, I’ve had lots of experience exploring with a pup friend. I'm an equally devoted cat-mom; Yogi and Princess Steve make our mini-menagerie complete. I love animals and the outdoors, and don’t get to spend enough time with either. I would love to spend some time with your fur-friend! While I am free most often in the late afternoon and at night, please reach out with any availability questions. My schedule varies in flexibility depending on the week! I spend my working hours as an elementary school librarian! Hanging out with animals is therapeutic for me, and I cannot imagine my life without my sweet buds. I would love to make it easier for you to care for your own cat or dog!

Melissa was great! She definitely made me feel more at ease about being away from my pets. Plenty of pics, which I appreciated. Adjusted the check-in schedule, to accommodate a previous request of mine, when her availability opened up. She even brought in my package! Thank you, Melissa!

Melissa did a great job with our fur baby. Highly recommend and will definitely be a repeat customer.

This is the second time Melissa has taken care of my cat. I can't say enough good things about her. She genuinely loves cats and took the time to send me pictures of how my cat was doing. I would highly recommend her. 😸
