About Melissa

With over 10 years of personal experience caring for pets in all stages of life and health, I offer a level of expertise that goes beyond the average pet sitter. My professional background includes five years as a veterinary assistant in emergency, exotic, and small animal settings. This invaluable experience gives me a unique edge, equipping me with a deep understanding of animal behavior, health, and medical needs. At home, I manage a lively multi-species household that includes dogs, cats, snakes, and a bunny! I'm particularly experienced with dog and cat behavioral challenges, having personally navigated behavioral modification training and medication protocols for my own pets. I am not easily intimidated by reactive or fearful animals, providing calm and compassionate care to even the most challenging pets. You can trust that your beloved companions will receive the highest standard of attentive and knowledgeable care under my supervision.
