Dog mom, RN and Student

Pet care experience

A nurse by trade, I'm well versed in caring for families. I'm currently back in school and looking to spend my spare time helping to care for your four legged family members. I'm a current dog mom to a loving but stubborn and energetic large senior pup so I know how to manage difficult behaviors. I also have 17 years experience caring for both healthy and medically complex cats.

Melissa has periodically taken care ofy fur babies as well as watering my plants! She loves them like her own, and they love her. I trust that when I come home everybody is happy and my home is like I left I left it. She is great at following the detailed instructions I leave for care from litter box upkeep to special diets to long walks.

Mel has taken care of both my dog and my cat several times, and each time she has treated them like her own. She is very responsible, particularly with pets with medical conditions, and ensures that they receive plenty of enrichment. Her strong medical background only adds to my ease of mind whenever I have to leave my babies. Highly recommend Mel for any pet caregiving.
