I’m in school part-time, and all my joy in life comes from animals (and family). I’m on my way to studying zoology so that I can be a zookeeper one day! I love any experience with the furry little critters.

Safety, trust & environment

I try to keep to their normal routine, so whatever they are used to is good with me. I love snuggling up, so I don’t mind if they like to sleep cuddled up.

Information Melissa T. would like to know about your pet

No preferences on breeds. I would just like to know what kind of behavior they prefer when around people and if there is anything I should avoid. I would also like to know if they are trained or require training.

A typical day

I love getting to know all the personalities, and especially like playing and can give my full attention. I am currently in school, so my schedule is not as flexible as it once was, but my time would mostly be spent doing homework and cuddling on the cuties. I enjoy hikes and long walks. Teaching simple tricks if you have treats! And watching all kinds of movies, especially the ones that make you think. I would likely talk through my thoughts with your pups afterwards, and ask for their thoughts :)

Hands-on care for our furry friends

Pet care experience

I have a great love for all kinds of animals. I enjoy getting to know each individual personality, and enjoy helping them feel comfortable as if their family was never out in the first place! I give a special, attentive kind of care so that they know I’m there for THEM to have a wonderful experience!

I don't want to tell you how wonderful Melissa is because we don't want to share her! She is such a sweet and gentle person and had just the right touch with our slightly over-protective boxer/pitbull. But he fell instantly in love with her. Don't use her unless you want your dog to fall in love with her too!

Melissa did a fantastic job caring for our pup and home while we were away. Communication was excellent, she sent daily updates and photos, which was much appreciated. The neighbors even mentioned how great she was. Highly recommend!
