About Melissa M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
- Working in emergency veterinary medicine for many years your pets safety is a priority and I can recognize potential emergencies before anything critical happens.
Information Melissa M. would like to know about your pet
Important to know if your dog is reactive to anything in particular ? Daily routines? Chronic illnesses? Walking distance limits? Feeding instructions? Any restrictions ?
A typical day
- Go on walks that fit the needs of your pet(s) - Playtime with their favorite toy(s) - My Labrador Retriever is very well mannered and loves everything so if your dog likes him and plays well with others then that would be a bonus fun day for your dog (That's if you choose daycare)

Pet care experience
I’ve worked in Veterinary medicine for 16+ years which includes Kennel/Veterinary Assistant in a general practice ,Emergency Veterinary Medicine for almost 6 years now. I moved from Maine in the summer of 2024. I’ve had on and off experience over many years of pet sitting mostly for my veterinary co workers pets in their homes (multiple cats, multiple dogs and sometimes a combination of both). I would enjoy having positive experiences with your pets on their normal day.

Reviews



Melissa did a fantastic job taking care of my 3 dogs and cat. Highly recommend and will gladly have her back to watch them again.

Melissa did a great job. She communicated well and followed instructions. Easy peasy. I would recommend their services and will gladly use again in the future.
Melissa is absolutely wonderful just every animal I’ve seen her interact with. She treats every animal with the upmost care and respect. She is one of the extreamly few people I trust my pets with. You can trust Melissa with your sweet baby as she treats all pets as her own. Highly recommend Melissa to anyone!
Melissa is a kind and caring veterinary assistant. She is a responsible and empathetic even under stressful conditions such as a veterinary emergency room. She is reliable and great with both cats and dogs. Her medical knowledge also puts her in a class above others. She would be able to keep an eye on your elderly pets with no issues and can medication them reliably if needed.
