Loving care when you’re not there

Pet care experience

I have had dogs, cats, caged animals like hamsters, birds, fish, ferrets, reptiles and more! I have had personal experience taking care of animals my whole life. I will work with you to create a customized schedule and life style catered towards your animal family. I can also keep in my home caged animals, reptiles, fish and birds if needed or add them for a few for home visits. Extra fee.

Melissa is awesome!! She did such a wonderful job watching our elderly Weimaraner and our very active golden. She took our energetic guy on walks daily and took great care of both dogs while we were away. Melissa was great communicating with us while we were away. We could relax and enjoy our vacation and didn’t have to worry about our pups. They were in such great hands. We highly recommend Melissa if you are looking for a loving, responsible person to care for your pets!

Melissa was wonderful! She took out mine and my mothers dogs ( 5 total!) while we went away for 8 days. She provided daily updates and pictures which we so appreciated. She went above and beyond what we asked her to do and could tell she truly cared that all our pets were being taken care of and were happy. We would definitely have her back to watch our pets again!
