Your Fur Babies, My Furry Friends!

Pet care experience

I've been in the company of Pet Pals since before I can remember. My pet-sitting adventures began in my early teens, and into my 30's, I had a fascinating stint on a TV show set at an animal sanctuary. Working with a diverse crew of 99 animals, from domestic cats and dogs to kangaroos and lemurs, was a truly unforgettable experience. My passion for animals extends beyond my own. I've volunteered at an animal shelter and as a foster mom, gaining experience with animals of all ages and needs. From energetic puppies to senior cats, I've seen and cared for it all.

Melissa has lovingly cared for my cats and dogs for many years. She is an invaluable resource for easing separation anxiety, putting pets at ease, managing special medical needs, and just bringing them joy through an ongoing connection. She is very knowledgeable and sweet to all her furry pals - new and old. I highly recommend her as a caregiver!

Safety, trust & environment

I'm currently responsible for the well-being of a diverse fur family, which includes one dog, two outdoor cats, and two indoor cats. Meticulously, I manage their feeding and bathroom schedules, keeping track of their unique dietary needs and allergies, ensuring that they never get the wrong meal. Beyond the basics, I offer hours of stimulating walks, playtime, and cozy cuddles. However, I always remember that when it comes to your pets, the pet parents are the ultimate bosses. Your instructions and preferences guide my care, ensuring that your furry companions receive the love and attention they deserve.

Information Melissa M. would like to know about your pet

Please provide information about any allergies, dietary restrictions, and medications for your fur children to ensure their safety and well-being. I will also love to fulfill any special requests that the pet parents have!

A typical day

Why keep a pup indoors all day? The level of activity depends on the dog and your comfort level, but I enjoy taking trips to the beach or boardwalk, visiting the park, walking down the main street – anything that's both engaging and secure! I'm pretty competitive when it comes to tug-of-war and a cuddle bunny to animals of all types!
