I am a teacher so I am home around 4:30pm daily, and home most weekends. I also have lots of days off. My husband works locally and comes home for lunch everyday so he can assist with bathroom breaks during that time.

Pet care experience

Hi my name is Melissa! I am 34 years old and a teacher in Westchester, New York. I live in Nanuet and I am an animal lover! I grew up with dogs but as an adult I’ve rescued 3 cats and fell absolutely in love with them. My husband and I have two cats currently. One is eight years old and one is around 4 years old. We adopted a kitten from a shelter in Dutchess County and I had to spend a lot of time helping him adjust to his new home because he had multiple homes before ours but now he is the best family pet! I am very reliable and my schedule is flexible. Hope to hear from you from you soon!

Melissa definitely loves animals and will take the best care of your pal(s). Definitely gives you peace of mind especially when you're far away. Goes the extra mile to make sure your pet is taken care of and loved! Will always rebook with her.
