Vet-tech, animal lover, fun!

Pet care experience

I have been pet sitting for friends and co-workers for several years. I also spent 2 years as an animal care technician at a shelter where I did all the animal feeding, cleaning, walking, medications and general care. I am also a part time veterinary technician so I am qualified to give any medications needed, nail trims, brushing, wrapping paws in case of an injury and ear/ eye cleaning. It also allows me to know if the animal needs to go to the vet while under my care. I have worked with animals in various fields such as a zoo keeper, animal shelter technician, veterinary technician and raptor and reptile rehabilitator for over 12 years. I am a passionate animal lover and excited to walk, pet sit or drop in to visit your animals. I personally have 3 dogs, 2 cats and a snake.

My animals were in excellent hands with Melissa! Being a vet tech, Melissa is knowledgeable of all animals and their needs. Because Melissa is active and loves hiking, my dogs were able to get lots of exercise and get all their Zoomies out! They were happy, content, and worn out after their stay! Great communication, flexibility, and dependability...highly recommend and will definitely use Melissa for future stays! Thanks Melissa!

Melissa is the best! She brings great experience and knowledge from her time as a vet tech and her life revolves around animals. She's extremely loving, patient, and kind towards animals and treats them all as if they're her own. I highly recommend Melissa because she will comfort and love your pets for you as she builds a strong bond with them. She's a hardworker with a big heart, and most importantly, she dependable! You will be more than happy you hired her.

I have a large fenced in yard for the dogs to run around in and live near a dog park where I take my dogs as well. Animals that come to my home must be good with both dogs and cats since I have both. I am also an avid hiker and take my dogs on several hikes a week so I would be able to bring your pup along as well. They will be very active while staying with my pack!
