About Melissa

Experience: 10 yrs

For over 25 years, I've dedicated myself to providing exceptional pet care. I treat every animal as if they were my own, ensuring a safe, stimulating, and consistent routine that prioritizes their comfort and happiness. I am experienced in administering medication, pet transportation, and pet day care. My graduate degree complements my hands-on experience with young, senior, special needs, and challenging pets. I strictly adhere to feeding schedules and dietary needs, manage high-energy breeds with active play, and vigilantly observe for any signs of distress. In emergencies, I remain calm, follow pre-discussed plans, and communicate immediately. Witnessing a pet's unique personality and helping them feel comfortable and loved is what I enjoy most. My responsible, kind, and empathetic nature makes me a great fit to care for your furry family member. I would love to help you with any of your pets!
