Mom of 5 kids, shi tzu, and turtle!

Pet care experience

I've had all sorts of animals since childhood from rabbits, to a Labrador. Turtles, hamsters, cats and fish. I love them all! I have been responsible for all these animals and now that I'm an adult, I've added 5 kids to the mix. I just love people and pets and will treat your pet as one of my own. Not afraid to get dirty and have fun with them!

Melissa has cared for my yellow lab Charlie many times. I’m very particular about who takes care of him and I’ve found her to be very loving and compassionate. She not only cares for his well being but also makes sure he’s enjoying his day or whatever activity they are doing…whether it’s just walking for exercise or it’s playtime. She is also very dependable in keeping her schedule and working with me on a schedule that works for everyone. I highly recommend Melissa to be your living caregiver for your pet.

Melissa is a great pet caregiver! She loves different types of pets and treats them as her own. She is loving, kind, and in-tune with what each pet needs. My dog loves her! Anyone would be lucky to have her take care of their pet.

Safety, trust & environment

I will make sure your pet stays on their preffered schedule. It's important for them to have that consistency for building trust and staying happy regardless if it's their human or me helping out.

Information Melissa R. would like to know about your pet

I am ways wanting to learn exactly what any dogs needs and wants are. Is there a special treat they prefer? Or their favorite spot to be scratched! It's also informant to know the things they dislike as well so I can build a bond with them and they enjoy my company as much as I will enjoy theirs!

A typical day

My neighborhood has a great park and there are always new places to explore during walks. I believe that all animals need to be both physically and mentally stimulated with games and playtime.
