Vet tech to critter sit

Pet care experience

Hello! I have 15 years of experience in veterinary clinics and have been in-home pet sitting for 10+ years. I love watching your pets while you are away and keeping them comfortable when you can't be with them. I know it can be stressful for pets when their owners are out of town and I strive to make them feel like it is just another day. I love the relationships I develop with both the pets and their owners! I also have the veterinary knowledge to help with sick critters. I'm comfortable giving medication, injections, etc if your pet requires it. Please contact me if you need an in-home pet sitter. I would love to help and keep your pets safe and happy while your away.

Melissa was very sweet to our pug. She took very good care of him in our home

We’ve entrusted our precious pets to Melissa for almost 7 years. She is loving, trustworthy, consistent and caring. When we’re out of town our cats receive the best care from her; the bonus is that she’s a vet tech and Melissa can give our senior kitty Wendy the meds she needs twice a day. I especially appreciate that she spends extra time with Wendy and Marley to help alleviate their loneliness in our absence. We give Melissa the highest scores in pet care.

Melissa is AWESOME!!!! She has nurtured and loved our dog Sam while we have vacationed for over 3 years, for weeks at a time. Sam is a dog with health issues, and I love that Melissa is a vet tech and can handle any emergency that might come up. It allows us to vacation with peace of mind. Melissa arrives at the home, stays overnight, and stops in to let Sam out, or take her for a walk, several times a day. Sam loves her and so do we! When we return our house is clean and Sam is well cared for. I highly recommend to Melissa!

Melissa is great with animals! My pets have always liked her and been happy to see her! She has been reliable and respectful of my home. She is a vet tech and has helped me with my pets when they had different medical conditions. I would recommend her to everyone!
