We had a wonderful experience with Melissa and highly recommend her! She was incredibly kind, attentive, and truly went above and beyond while caring for our pets, Bella (our dog) and Kodi (our cat). Melissa remembered every detail and instruction we provided about their care, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. After each visit, she sent us photos and kept us updated on when she arrived and when she left, which we really appreciated. She even went the extra mile by providing very detailed updates about each of her visits, and asking thoughtful questions, like whether we wanted lights left on for the pets while we were gone. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about animals and takes her responsibilities seriously. Having someone come into your home to care for your pets requires a lot of trust, and we felt completely comfortable and confident with Melissa. We are so grateful for the care she gave Bella and Kodi and would absolutely book with her again!

Melisa was excellent. Even with last min changes she was able to take care of our old boy. Will definitely use her again. Thank you for talking such good care of our elder dog.

Melissa is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!!! She truly cares about pets and is very passionate in what she does. I always feel at ease when she takes care of my dog because she knows what she is doing, her passion, and professionalism. In addition that my dog looooves her to pieces ❤️

Melissa is the most kindest, passionate, responsible, hard working person I know. She loves and cares for all pets like as if they are her own. As a vet tech, she is very knowledgeable about all species of pets, and is definitely the person you want caring for your loved furbabies. Her bond with animals is beautiful and inspiring. I trust her with my own dog 1,000,000%.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

All my life I’ve always had passion, empathy and care for those who are the world to us, our fur babies, that’s why I swore I would devote my life to give my best to every fur baby I come across.

I am also experienced in husbandry, care and diet for guinea pigs, birds, reptiles, bunnies, and other exotic pets as well.
