Experience: 2 yrs
Caring for animals is more than a job; it's a passion. For the past two years, I've dedicated myself to providing exceptional care for pets of all kinds, including dogs, cats, birds, fish, and other small animals. I prioritize each pet's comfort and happiness by treating them as my own, ensuring a safe, stimulating, and consistent routine. I strictly adhere to feeding schedules and dietary needs, manage high-energy breeds with active play, and maintain a clean, secure environment. I always have emergency contact information readily available, remain calm in unexpected situations, and communicate immediately with you about any concerns. I am punctual, responsible, and kind. I find joy in witnessing their unique personalities and ensuring they feel loved in their own environment. I'd love to use my skills to care for your beloved companion!
I've known Melissa for a long time, and as an animal lover myself I would only vouch for her if I knew she could be trusted 100% with one's pets. I can say with complete confidence that Melissa is an excellent caregiver. Each pet is seen as the unique individual they are, and her caregiving reflects that. She definitely goes far beyond the bare minimum. It is especially evident when she is asked to care for a pet after the first visit. The pets remember her and you can see in their excitement how happy they are to be watched by her again. That she has so many repeat pet owners who seek her services gives insight to the trust she has earned.
