Pet care experience

I’ve been taking care of pets virtually my whole life. From my own pets at home and in my classroom, to caring for friends and family’s pets, my love for pets of all kinds is evident. I’ve had experience caring for puppies and kittens to seniors on hospice. Whether its a jog or a hike at the park or just a cuddle on the couch, I’m ready to help!

This is Melissa’s second time doing drop ins for our two dogs and it has been the best experience! We think she truly cares and loves to interact with our dogs and it shows in her care. We feel really comfortable leaving them in her care while we are gone. Would highly recommend her to everyone with dogs! Our dogs seem to really like her.

Melissa did such an awesome job watching my 3 jowly babes. They each told me how much fun they had once I got back home!

Melissa took great care of our pets! All 3 of our pets need senior care & meds. While away, we felt such peace of mind knowing they were in Melissa’s expert hands.
