Caring Certified Vet Tech!

Pet care experience

I am Certified Veterinary Technician that currently works at a vet clinic. I have two dog and three cats of my own that I love with all my heart. I have experience handling and caring for pets coming in for boarding and/or medical appointments. I am knowledgeable to an extent when it comes in detecting any possible medical needs the pet may need. I am also an experienced dog bather and am capable of doing dog and cat nails. I believe it's important to make the pet you care for your number one priority and to always be attentive to their every needs; which in turn, helps build a trusting bond between sitter and pet parent.

So sweet with my 10 week old puppy & went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. Bonus points for sending so many pics throughout the day to keep me updated :)

Mellissa was amazing! She sent so many pictures and took care of my boys so well. She definitely put my mind at ease!

I would book Mellissa again! She’s very communicative and caring for my dog. She treats him as if he was her own! Super friendly and I had no issues whatsoever.

My wife and I always know we’re leaving our dogs in great hands with Mellissa. The peace of mind we feel because Mellissa cares about our dogs, connects with them, and sends us consistent updates with photos of them is a great feeling. Can’t imagine leaving our dogs with anyone else.

Safety, trust & environment

A lot of chilling at home as I mainly provide pet/house sitting services. I am able to detect any behavior changes in the event your pet is coming down with a tummy ache or a skin infection amongst many ailments and will always let pet parents know when there is something the matter.

Information Mellissa P. would like to know about your pet

Open to caring for any breed, no matter the size. German Shepherds, though, have a special place in my heart; they are such a wonderful breed!

A typical day

I know numerous places in the surrounding area that make great for walks/exercising. Before choosing dog parks, I always go with nature trails for walks. New sights and sounds for pets make for exciting walks.

I work full time at a veterinary clinic in South Tampa and my hours range between 10-12 hour days depending on the flow/tasks of the day. I always find this to mention important so my pet parents are well informed of the care I can provide when house/pet sitting. Weekends I spend majority of my time giving the pets I take care of my full attention and always keeping their parents up to date during stays.
