About Melissa

My passion for animals began in childhood - always having a dog and cat (and various other critters) in our household. I studied Biology in college with the hopes of furthering my studies in Zoology. Over the past 11yrs, I have been privileged with the companionship of a cat who lived to the ripe old age of 19 and 4 wonderful dogs, 3 of which have been lost to cancer. I currently have one rescue dog, Rubble, and he is my "fur-shine"! I pride myself on attention to detail and care when it comes to our furry family members. Throughout the years, I have pet sit for friends/neighbors and I've had experience dealing with various short and long term ailments/illnesses with my own pets. Exceptions: no aggressive dogs or full breed German Shepherd Dogs *Profile photograph courtesy of Cassie Bayer Photography
