Safety, trust & environment

My pets are treated like royalty in this house. I treat them with love and respect. I have a very soft spot for any animal. I will treat any and all animals as if they were mine! They will always be safe in my care.

Information Melissa S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about every little thing I need to know about your pet/pets! Anything medically, physically, emotionally. What makes your pet comfortable or uncomfortable. I wanna keep your mind at ease and make your pets experience with me as smooth and fun as possible!

A typical day

I can do activities that matches your pets capabilities. With dogs we can go on walks, play with any toys outside if it’s not too hot of course and depends what weather we’re in we can play with snow! I could run a little more in my life so you can count on me being active! With cats they are more independent but if you have an active cat who likes to play with strings and balls of course. If you have guinea pigs or birds or ferrets we will definitely enjoy our time!

Melissa was great with my 3 dogs and they were well taken care of while I was away. I would definitely hire her again.

Melissa was great! Communicated throughout the day with updates and pictures of Kai. Cleaned up after his mischievous messes and had him wiped down by the time I made it home. She was extremely patient with Kai. Definitely will be reaching out again for her services.
