Pet care experience

I'd love to help care for your pup!

I've been working on and off with animals (primarily dogs) since I was a little girl and have over 25 years of experience. My first job was at a veterinary office; I have no issue cleaning up after your pup or helping administer meds. I've been a proud dog mom for 20 years. My current baby (dog) is a 90+ pound labradoodle. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and promise to treat your fur baby as I would want my boy treated.

So grateful to have Melissa come by to take our pup out and give her dinner! She’s kind, communicative, and patient, and we really appreciate it!

Melissa was so great to work with and I can’t wait for her to stop by to see our pup Daisy again! She came over to meet Daisy before our first drop-in and it was an instant hit. I felt so comfortable before, during, and after the visit with all of Melissa’s great questions and update, and I know Daisy loved having someone come shower her with affection when I was out for a long day. We’ll definitely ask Melissa to come back again!
