About: I have taken care of all sorts of animals since I was 10 years old! Horses, chickens, cows, donkeys, fish, hamsters, goats, sheep, rats, kittens, dogs, etc! I am happy to help with any pet needs! I have recently graduated from college and am working part time working towards full time! Pet sitting and care fit well into my routine as I typically work 4 hour shifts at a time leaving great time to check in with pets! My weeks are flexible just reach out if you have any questions! I try to have what is best for my animals including fenced in yards and proper food, cages, and medicines. Although I do not offer boarding, I will make absolutely certain your animals stay safe in my care!

“Melissa is amazing. She stayed at my house during my full week vacation to watch my two new puppies. I loved that she cared enough to come and meet them before she agreed to the stay. I think that is so helpful for my peace of mind as well as for hers. During the vacation, Melissa sent us pictures of the puppies, that not only showed us they were ok but also showed us their personalities! She went above and beyond when I asked her to also take care of our Bearded Dragon (lizard) which eats crickets. The crickets ran out during the week and she even went to the store to get more. As a house sitter, she was great! The house was just as I left it, she knew how to work everything, and I even had an emergency where I needed something from the garage to be found and set out for my sitter to pick up. That was a feat in itself to find the item by FaceTiming me and going through box after box, all the while giggling and telling jokes! Last but not least, when it was taking us longer than expected to get home, she came back to the house voluntarily and feed and watered the puppies. I can tell she cares and I can’t wait to refer her to everyone I know! Now my only hope is that she’s available next time we have something planned!”
