Animals are the love of my life!

Cat care experience

Hello! 😊 I’ve cared for cats throughout my life and currently have a cat of my own, Binx! He loves to lick and play-bite—just like he did as a kitten—which has helped me become very comfortable reading feline body language and understanding the unique behaviors and personalities that make every cat special. I’m very good with cats, and they often seem to gravitate toward me. I truly enjoy earning their trust and creating a calm, comfortable environment where they feel safe and cared for. One of my favorite things about animals is that each one has their own distinct personality, bringing so much joy, humor, and companionship into our lives. I am fully available and offer flexible scheduling to meet my clients’ needs. Whether your cat is playful and social or more independent and reserved, I’m attentive to their individual preferences and routines. My goal is always to make sure they feel secure, loved, and comfortable in their home environment. During visits, I provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship and affection, I treat every cat as if they were my own. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! Thank you, Melissa

Melissa is wonderful! Our pup Romeo loves going to stay with her and is excited every time we drop him off. Melissa provides lots of text and picture updates and is great to work with figuring out pick up and drop off times. Highly recommend Melissa!
