I just moved back to Florida from Oregon to help my mom out after the hurricane and decided to stay so my schedule is flexible. I’m a night person so I’m open to evening care needs too.

Melissa took real good care of our kitties while we were away. Even our shy Shelly came out to greet her. Definitely will use her again in the future.

Melissa was amazing! We had a very last minute need that popped up and she was incredibly accomodating. Our doggo had a fantastic time in her farm. She sent updates all through the day which helped reasssure us; the last minute nature of our care need meant we weren't able to get a meet and greet ahead of time. Melissa is a wonderful care giver and we will definitely be contracting her again when another need arises and will be recommending her to friends.
