Reliable and experienced pet care!

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Melissa! I’ve always enjoyed caring for and spending time with all animals. I have a wide variety of pet care experience that includes cats, dogs, small mammals, birds, reptiles, and various exotic pets. I have volunteered at various rescues and shelters as a dog/cat exerciser and socializer, had five foster dogs, have worked at animal hospitals and as a dog walker/pet sitter, and took a working vacation to care for dogs, cats, and parrots at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Kanab, Utah. It’s safe to say, your pet is in good and experienced hands with me.

Mellisa can always be counted on to provide the best, most loving care. My toy poodle Rosy adores her. We do too!

I work remotely and I am doing pet sitting and dog walking as my schedule allows. I also have my own 2 cats, so I don’t often take long pet sitting engagements unless there is time to come home to care for them as well.
