About Melissa
Experience: 10 yrs
For the past 10 years, I've dedicated myself to providing exceptional pet care. My graduate degree complements my hands-on experience with diverse animals, from dogs and cats to birds and even exotic pets. I prioritize a pet's comfort and happiness above all else, treating each one as my own by ensuring a safe, stimulating, and consistent routine. I strictly adhere to feeding schedules and maintain a clean, secure environment. I am also vigilant about watching for any signs of distress. In emergencies, I remain calm, follow pre-discussed plans, and always have emergency contact information readily available. I find joy in witnessing each pet's unique personality and offering owners peace of mind. As a punctual, responsible, and kind individual, I'm eager to provide your beloved companion with the best possible care. I would love to help you with any of your pets!

She treated my two little girls (dogs) as if they were her own. I have full confidence in Melissa. My girls loved her and we will be using her again five stars all the way.
