Pet care experience

Peaceful & loving home for your pet

I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes since the age of 14. I would feed, bathe, take them on walks, play outside, and teach them a couple of tricks such as learning to sit, stay, roll over, and shake. I take care of pets as if they are my very own. I’m very aware and cautious if a pet is not acting normally and take immediate action.

Melissa was wonderful! She was professional, laid-back, and very polite. Our pets felt comfortable with her right away, even our more introverted ones. She followed all of our directions carefully and took great care of everyone while we were away. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing our pets were in such good hands. We would absolutely book Melissa again!

Schedule

I work full time but I am flexible throughout my day to enjoy time with my pets. My partner works remotely, so my pets are never left alone. I have plenty of spare time to have your pet enjoying their time and have them feel at home.

Safety, trust & environment

I own a dog and 2 cats and they have two feeding times which is mid morning and in the evening. I also give them treats and do playful activities for them to get their energy going. I also give baths, comb their fur and brush their teeth. I am someone who loves to cuddle and have my pets near me while watching tv or while I’m doing meditative practices.
