Your babies New Best friend 🐶🐱🦎

Pet care experience

I have always had a passion for animals even as a child. As a child I would bring home stray animals so they would have a home. I care for dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and small animals, any size in the comfort of their own home! I started my career as a pet care associate at Petsmart. Following there I began to work with Banfield Pet Hospital where I became a shift lead and assisted in surgical procedures. I continued my training with VCA Old Marple Animal Hospital where I was working in both the general practice as well as the emergency department. I have worked at World of Animals as a Veterinary Technician. Also, my family have relied on me to feed, bath, walk and medicate their pets. In my day job I assist doctors with their patients, in a regular day I am doing anything from give vaccines to taking blood for routine checkups. I am also trained in basic care and well as monitoring patients under anesthesia. I am Fear Free certified and CPR certified. I am a graduate of Penn Foster with an Associate Degree in Veterinary Technology. I am very patient and detail oriented, you and your babies will love me! I will send regular updates and pictures while you are away, and I guarantee a clean home when you return. My goal is to keep your babies as stress free as possible while you are away. This means keeping them home and in their comfort zone with their own scents and toys. Stress free boarding means they eat better and use the bathroom normally which of course avoids a lot of common problems that can lead to vet trips. Please message me with any questions! Thank You for your consideration.

Melissa was great with my cats. One of them is sick and Melissa kept me updated on how she was doing.

Melissa was the best . She came to my house to get to know Molly a week before our vacation and that helped so much. On our vacation she gave daily updates with pictures and was honest with her assessments. I would highly recommend Melissa to watch your pet as her and her family will take care of them as if they are their own. Ray Papin and family

It was so great having Melissa house sit our two pups. She was timely, reliable and helpful. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an overnight sitter for their fur babies.
