I'll love your dog like my own

Pet care experience

I grew up around animals as a child and as an adult I have always had at least one dog. I am personable and not afraid to get dirty, slobbery, full of dog hair etc. My favorite breeds are boxers and I am currently mom to one boxer, a poodle mix and a mini dachshund. I love the outdoors and whats better then combining your favorite animal with your love of the outdoors? I have previously worked in shelters and kennels as well as working as a petcare manager at Petsmart several years ago. I had a client for over 5 years that I regularly stayed at her ranch to take care of her multiple working and show dogs, ducks, geese, chickens, sheep and goats. I am good with animals and not afraid to administer meds, shots, do wound care, or brush teeth, or prepare special diets. A past client fed only raw foods to their 3 dogs and while I don’t love the smell of tripe I would gladly feed your beloved fur babies whatever you require.

Mellissa was absolutely phenomenal! She instantly clicked with my dogs and she took great care of them. She sent me pictures and gave me consistent updates, and really went above and beyond. HIGHLY recommend!!

Mellissa maintained the routines of two finicky cats while I was away for an extended vacation and kept me well informed.

Mellissa took great care of our two cats while we were gone for a week. She even sent a picture which was so fun to get in the middle of traveling. Being able to leave the cats at home instead of boarding them relieved a lot of stress about going away for so long. We will definitely use Mellissa again the next time we go out of town.

Mellissa is outstanding. We are here in Benson snowbirding in our RV. Mellissa took the time to come meet us and Lulu the day before. She was so flexible and very good with Lulu. Day we needed her to come let Lulu out and walk, she sent photos. Awesome person.
