Passionate animal caretaker
Pet care experience
I’ve been passionate about animals for as long as I can remember. From a young age, friends and family have entrusted me to care for their pets and homes. I am able to watch 5+ animals at a time. The more the merrier! My fur babies include a 6 year old border collie mix named Ellie, a husky named Balto, a German Shepherd/husky mix named Josie, an orange kitty named Alfie, and a calico named Holly. They love making new furry friends! While watching your pets I will be very attentive of their specific needs, and I promise open communication to ensure their utmost safety and wellbeing. Shy animals appreciate my calm, nonimposing presence, and will usually become comfortable around me after the first visit. I adore dogs and cats of all breeds and personalities and promise to care for them like my own.
Reviews
Melissa was awesome with my fur baby! She was reliable and flexible with my schedule. I will definitely be using her in the future!
Melissa was wonderful with our dogs who are usually so rambunctious around new people!!! We enjoyed the photos and updates and didn’t have to worry while we were away on vacation! Thanks Melissa!!!
Melissa is amazing!! My timid cats warmed up to her quick. So great to see them happy while I’m away.
I’ve used Melissa several times now and she’s been incredible! She communicates really well and my kitties always seem relaxed and well cared for after she’s seen them! She does an excellent job of giving my cat oral meds (not an easy feat) and I’ve been able to book her on short notice which is really appreciated!

Kaleb and I share a very pet friendly home with a fenced in yard. We are home-bodies and love spending time with our three dogs and two kitties. Our dogs easily become best friends with every dog they meet while our cats are very accustomed to being around large rowdy dogs.
