Abundant warmth from host and home!

Pet care experience

Having grown up with two lovely Maltese/Shi Tsu crosses, I cannot imagine life without fur babies! They are an absolute gift and treasured members of the family. Growing up in BC I was spoiled with an abundance of nature, and some of my best memories are long walks with my dogs in my hometown of Kamloops and on Vancouver Island. After moving to Toronto and completing my BFA, I travelled for several years and my connection to all kinds of animals grew. I eventually made my way to the opposite coast, found my dream home and partner and have now settled in St. John’s. I have a senior Schnoodle named Butters who is my baby, and along with my partner and his two sweet cats Rufus and Minnie, have a beautiful happy family. I have a flexible schedule and I now want more daily interaction with the animals that give me such joy!

Melissa is great with Legend, she follows the instructions, kept him safe and fed. I am very happy with her... and so is Legend.

Melissa is great with Legend, she followed the instructions, he was well taken care of while we were gone. This is not the first time we have booked her, and it won’t be the last.

Missy has not only taken sensational care of our family pet, Tia dog but also my daughter. There is no one who is more trust worthy, caring and responsible. I highly recommend Missy and if your fur baby is privillaged enough to be in her care they will be well loved and have all their needs met.

Information Melissa M. would like to know about your pet

We will of course discuss any particular needs ahead of time, and do a meet and greet if time permits. I always feel it’s important to get a sense of an animal’s personality, and for them to get comfortable with me in the presence of their human first.

A typical day

Plenty of walking, there’s a park across the street from my house once things warm up. I have toys and healthy treats, and lots of space inside to run around!
