About Melissa

Experience: 3 yrs

I own a 6-year-old Sheltie & a 7-year-old parakeet. I spend 2010 fostering elderly dogs in California, many of which had medical/special needs. From approximately 2009-2011 I also volunteered at Oakland, CA city shelter taking care of the dogs. I have experience watching 3 double yellow head amazon parrots and cat-sitting as well (all for friends).
