I love caring for all animals.
Pet care experience
I was previously a ER Vet Assistant/Exam room technician for 5 years. I know how to properly administer medication, cut nails, groom, and general care for a dog. I can work with dogs of any size with any type of needs. I went to a Vocational program in high school and studied Wildlife in college. I learned to properly care and handle animals in many situations. I can also care for other types of animals not just dogs. I live on a farm with dogs, cats, chickens, horses, pigs, goats, and sheep.

Melissa stayed with our dog for two nights. It was our first time leaving him and we were nervous. Melissa did a great job keeping in touch with us and giving us updates, which was very helpful! She is trustworthy and we would definitely book her again. Our dog can be a little slow to warm up to new people but Melissa has a lot of experience with animals and she is great with him.
