Pet care experience
Slightly dog crazy! Love for all ❤️
As long as I can remember, I've been crazy about animals - big and small! There is something truly special about the bond between an animal and their human. I approach everything I do with love, compassion and an open mind. I currently provide behaviour therapy to those affected by autism, work part time at Global Pet Foods in Milton, and I’m an Educational Assistant with the HDSB. I do not any shy away from challenges, and I have extensive experience with larger dogs with mobility challenges and autoimmune diseases. My lab suffered from wobblers syndrome and arthritis. My Rottie had both a THR and an FHO and was later diagnosed with an autoimmune disease called ITP. My care included frequent trips to the vet and the emergency hospital, daily cooking, medication administration multiple times a day, assisted walking with a harness, frequent wiping, managing both diarrhea and vomit, and transporting my late boy to rehab sessions. Dogs are family and they will ALWAYS be treated as such in my care. I love dogs of all sizes ❤️ My Rottie recently passed in April 2026 and I want to be able to share the love I had for him with other dogs ❤️ In addition to my dog, I currently have a 11 year old indoor cat who I love to bits! Feel free to ask me any questions you like! Your furbaby will be in good hands at all times I can guarantee. Photos and videos will never be a problem as I always try to capture the best moments :). I will gladly provide character references from places of employment as well as from the local vet clinic and rehabilitation center ❤️

Ratings and reviews
Melissa was fantastic with Zeus. She took the time to meet him prior and introduce our dogs to ensure they would be comfortable with each other. Would definitely use her again!
Melissa stayed at my house and watched my pups for the night while we were attending a wedding! She sent regular updates and pictures and answered any questions I had. I had full trust in her and knew that my babies were in good hands. I will definitely be booking with Melissa again.

Schedule
I can work with you for your pets care! I currently am not offering boarding, but I would be happy to come into your home to assist where needed, or walk your dog, or just be a companion in the evenings or weekends. I have more flexibility when I am out of school at the end of June.
