I love all animals!

Pet care experience

I love animals of all kinds and sizes! I've been caring for dogs and cats since I was just a young girl. I can provide care for almost any type of pet you have. I've cared for or owned many different types of pets including sugar gliders, hedgehog, bunnies, guinea pigs, goats, mini pigs, tortoises, iguana, bearded dragons, fish, birds, dogs, cats; I could go on! Our pets are our family and I will care for your pet as if it were my own. My husband and 3 children recently just moved back to the area but I grew up in the Youngstown area. Our family currently includes 2 Bernese mountain dogs, an English bulldog, a small mix dog, several cats, Russian tortoises, bearded dragon, cockatoo, Senegal, fish, goats, pigs, alpacas,, chickens and ducks! Our own mini zoo Oasis. Please feel free to contact me and ask me any questions you may have, I'm an open book! And if you're worried how I can have time to care for your furry family member and all mine; my husband is retired so he has plenty of time on his hands also 😀

We have quite the crew, 5 dogs and 10 ducklings. Melissa watched them with no troubles at all and sent us pictures daily. I will definitely be reaching back out next time we leave town, she was great!

Melissa is absolutely amazing! She sends us all the updates possible, and accommodates to any request you ask. She is so sweet, and even our dog who is afraid of anyone but my fiancé and I absolutely loved her! Melissa relieved so much anxiety for future travels:)

Information Melissa W. would like to know about your pet

I of course prefer not to work with aggressive pets. I understand they will need to get to know me to be comfortable so I'll need a meet and greet beforehand.

A typical day

I'll walk your pup in a recommended area of your choice. We can play tug of war with a favorite toy or they can just enjoy some belly rubs. It's whatever you prefer that works for your pet. It's best for you to give me suggestions on what your buddy enjoys since you know them best
