Pet care experience

I’ve cared for all types of pets!

I’ve cared for dogs, cats, reptiles, bird, fish, small mammals, and creepy crawlies. My passion is animal care-always has been. I’ve studied some dog behavior and training. I currently have a small zoo of pets at my house! I studied biology in school.

Melissa was dependable and responsible for all the needs of our cats, food, water and cleaning of the litter container. I appreciate her coming even though Fancy and Cooky were not friendly. They hide when an unknown person is around, but we knew she would be there for essentials needed.

I’ve booked Melissa too many times to count and she is wonderful with my senior dog and very flexible. I highly recommend her.

As usual Melissa is amazing with Lily and taking care that the house is locked up and picking up packages. I couldn’t recommend her more.

Do let me know any quirks your dog might have. Especially including any dog or human reactivity, allergies, or specials needs or accommodations. I want them to be as happy and safe as possible.
