Cats, dogs, reptiles, and plants!
Pet care experience
I take time to use an animal's subtle cues to achieve low stress interactions. Lots of experience with oral, topical and injected medications for cats and dogs, especially seniors. For holiday visits, please make sure you look at the holiday rates listed, as there is a premium.
Reviews
I'm running out of ways to say the same thing: Melissa is great every single time! She communicates clearly and often and takes wonderful care of our dog. She's the best.
Great with cats! Knox and Monty are always happy
Melissa did such a great job giving feedback and taking good care of our dogs! Very thankful she took our job!
Melissa is always wonderful, but she went above and beyond this time! Our poor pup wasn’t feeling well, and Melissa took wonderful care of her. I just can’t say enough nice things about Melissa.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I take leash safety seriously and will work with your dogs to make walks safe and enjoyable for your pup. Watering plants, feeding fish or reptiles is no problem, just give me clear instructions.
Information Melissa L. would like to know about your pet
Let me know what your pet likes/dislikes, any physical limitations, relevant heath history/sensitive spots, and details about their feeding/potty schedules and quirks that would make caring for them easier. Any medication instructions should be extremely detailed and thorough.
A typical day
I will take your pet's lead based on how they enjoy spending time. If they are lazy snuggle bugs, I am happy to do an easy walk followed by lounging and belly rubs. If they are little balls of energy, I'm always down for fetch and tug of war. You just need to be ready for all of the cute photos!

My calm nature and experience makes each visit pleasant for your pets. It is important to me to be patient and use positive reinforcement with all animals. I send LOTS of photos and detailed updates each visit so you can see all of the fun and feel secure knowing your friend is doing well and is taken care of.
