Lifelong animal lover and caretaker

Pet care experience

My love for animals has been lifelong. I have cared for many animals over the years including; dogs, cats, gerbils, hamsters, mice, rats, rabbits, parakeets, fish, geckos, chickens, bearded dragons, tarantulas as well as a turtles. I cared for these animals either as my own pets, classroom pets, volunteering at the Humane Society or pet sitting.

Melissa is wonderful! She really cares about our dog and treats her with love. She has been our pet sitter several times, and she never disappoints!

Safety, trust & environment

I will treat your home and pet(s) in my care as if I were taking care of my own pet(s). I will do everything I can to make sure your family pets are comfy, cozy and safe.

Information Melissa M. would like to know about your pet

Please tell me your cat or dog's temperament. Timid? Independent? Laid back? Aggressive? Sensitive? Very playful? Nervous around new people? Does your dog lunge or pull seeing other dogs, people, squirrels, birds etc., My number one concern will always be safety.

A typical day

I will do what is preferred by the owner. Does your dog prefer a long walk on sidewalks? Grass? How do they feel about snow and rain? Is your dog geriatric, they needs fresh air and a walk, but a shorter/slower one? Maybe your dog likes time in the sun on a balcony or deck but isn't a fan of walks. Snuggles on the couch? Does your dog have special toys for fetch? I am happy to meet the needs of your dog. Is your cat happy to be petted or brushed? Do they have special toys? Does your cat enjoy walks, cuddles on laps? Does your cat warm up slowly to new people?
