USMC Veteran that loves animals 💕

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m a Marine Corps Veteran. I’ve taken care of many dogs, cats, bunnies, hamsters, you name it. I’m a huge animal lover. Being able to help people and animals brings a lot of warmth to my heart. Doing something I love is a big part of my life. I hope you’d allow me to help you out and bring a smile to your pets face.

Melissa was fantastic! Cooper was well taken care of and enjoyed himself in her care. She sent us regular updates and feedback on how he was doing. I will definitely be using Melissa again.

Melissa was great with our dog Charlie while away for a long weekend. She provided daily updates and sent pictures. Charlie was very happy! Thanks!

Melissa just took care of our big Goldendoodle for a week while we were on vacation. She sent pictures and updates every day of their adventures and took care of him like he was part of her family. He clearly loved being there and we were so happy he was getting love and attention while we were away. Could not recommend Melissa more strongly and will never leave our dog with anyone else.

Missy was awesome! Our dog Gus clearly felt comfortable with her and in her home from the moment we dropped him off. He was included in a bunch of family activities around the house and Missy's communication put me at ease. We will absolutely be working with her again and Missy is now our first option for boarding
