Melissa's Pet Pals

Pet care experience

I'm looking for pet companions. I DO NOT have any animals in my home. I've always loved animals and have owned them. I recently moved, I often spend time with my 3 chihuahua s my mother now has. I've had one cat, fishes, turtles, birds & snakes. Growing up my home has always been an animal kingdom. I think its important that our animals are treated well. We are their protectors and their voices. My mother & I have often found stray animals & have taken care of them & found them good homes. Its like these animals knew where to go & who to follow. In the near future I would like to pursue a career as an animal control officer. I recently got my associates in criminal justice & would like to use the skills I learn in the field to protect animals. For now I think this will help me gain knowledge & experience with different breeds. so being. accompanied by pets would really be nice. I work a full time job 630am to 3pm. Available after 3pm and Available all day on weeknds. I do not leave pets alone unless pet parents are okay with my wrk schedule. I also hve a camera to check in

Melissa was an awesome sitter - she took care of Alfie on very short notice and sent lots of pictures while we were away! She was easy to communicate with and coordinate drop off/pick up!

Melissa did a great job watching my beagle, Ruuna, over a long weekend, including administering meds on a schedule. Ruuna can be an excitable, high energy dog, but she came home tuckered out and seemed to have a great time. Melissa handled all of my concerned-dog-mom directions well, and kept me up to date with adorable pics and videos showing Ruuna getting spoiled. Would definitely use Melissa again!

Melissa took great care of my dog Archie overnight! She was super responsive and made drop off and pick up easy. He seemed like he had a great time and she kept us updated with videos. She even let him keep a favorite toy he found at her house. Definitely would book again!
