Animal Rescuer to the Rescue!
Pet care experience
Former animal rescuer available to care for your pets when you’re busy or out of town! I have always had a passion for animals and have experience with cats and dogs of all breeds and sizes, farm animals, and some exotics... so definitely am open to animals other than dogs! Prior to moving to Washington in 2017, I founded and ran an animal rescue. Compliments of my history in animal rescue, I have some pretty decent veterinary knowledge so am comfortable with medical care such as pilling, giving shots, physical therapy, bottle feeding, etc. I am available early mornings, lunch breaks if within proximity to my office, as well as evenings and weekends for drop ins and walks. I am only available for house sitting on weekends due to my day job. I do have my own reliable transportation.
Reviews
Melissa is an amazing animal lover. I worked with her through her rescue where she helped to lead the cause of saving many animals. She was always considerate, and any animal that crossed her path was better for it. She cares deeply, and is passionate about animals. I would trust her 100%.
About Melissa S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have animals of my own (one of which is allergic to dogs) so I would need to care for animals in your home as opposed to mine.
Information Melissa S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know your dog's pottying schedule, as well as any particular medications they need, and potential behavioral quirks so I can properly handle them in the presence of other animals we may encounter.
A typical day
I love to stimulate your dog(s) physically and mentally. I can take them for long walks, to the beach or dog parks, or whatever is part of your usual routine.

Availability
Pet care fitting into my daily and weekly routine truly depends on the cat or dog in particular, as well as their specific routines and needs.
