Information Melissa V. would like to know about your pet

Are there any special needs your dog has or medication he/she needs? Do they have accidents in the house or need more frequent bathroom breaks? Do they pull on their leash when walking? Do they need to be crated and do you have your own crate?

A typical day

I love playing with other cats! Figuring out what they love to play with and what their personalities are like so they can always be accommodated every time they come back!

I had to take a weekend trip and needed a sitter for my cat sweetie. She is my world and Melissa took great care of her! She was fed and cared for and seemed very happy when I picked her up. Will definitely be using her again if need be. I don't know if I would trust anyone else with my sweetie lol thanks Melissa

Melissa was more than just professional, she was very caring and gentle with my Babi. From what I understood, Babi came out from hiding the same day I dropped her off. So she felt comfortable to do so. I most definitely use Melissa V again and again. Thank.you so much!
