About Melissa

Experience: 10 yrs

Bringing a decade of experience to pet care, I focus on your pet's comfort and happiness, treating them as my own. I ensure a safe, stimulating, and consistent routine. I strictly adhere to feeding schedules and manage high-energy breeds with active play. Maintaining a clean and secure environment is always a priority. I am prepared for unexpected situations. I keep emergency contact information readily available, remaining calm and following pre-discussed plans. Immediate communication is key. I am certified in the Red Cross Pet First Aid Course. I love witnessing each pet's unique personality and ensuring they feel loved in their own environment. My goal is to provide you with peace of mind. Punctual, responsible, and kind, I would love to care for your furry, feathered, or scaled family members!
