Melissa has taken care of my puddle tats on many occasions, actually she was responsible for connecting me to 4 of them, 2 sets of brothers. The 2nd being rescued when not yet weaned she bottle fed them around the clock. Her past work in a vet clinic and personal experiences have given her the skills to care for even your medically challenging pets. She is reliable and caring, we did not worry when leaving them in her care.

Melissa is awesome. She is my "go to" when ever I need someone to watch over my pets while I am out of town. She is wonderful because she loves all animals, and is very comfortable around all animals. I know when Melissa watches my pets they will be treated well as if it were me caring for them. Since she has medical training also, she knows what to do if one of my pets should become sick. She really is wonderful and I highly recommend her.

She is a dedicated and experienced pet owner and has extensive professional experience with pet care at veterinary offices and animal shelters and with fostering ill animals and with caring for animals in their homes. I wholeheartedly recommend her to provide outstanding and loving personalized pet care under any circumstances. She can help you care for your pet when you are out of town. She is 100% trustworthy and reliable. I give her my highest recommendation to provide superb care for your pets.

Melissa has been an animal lover all her life and in her adult years has worked with rescue groups and in veterinary offices. I've used her as a pet sitter and was very happy with the live and attention my pets received. She is honest and responsible. I highly recommend her.

Melissa has helped me on multiple occasions and each time she knocked it out of the park. While I was traveling abroad for 2+ weeks Melissa checked in on my beloved and sometimes ornery cat, Pickles. I really looked forward to receiving her updates that included pictures AND videos! I felt completely at ease that Pickles was in good hands while I was a long way from home. Melissa has a huge heart for animals and it's crystal clear from the moment you meet her. 10/10

Melissa is dedicated to pets of all kind. She volunteered and was employed at the Exotic Feline Rescue Center for several years. She was always professional, safe and caring to all of the cats. I can't think of a better person to trust with the care of my cats. I highly recommend Melissa to anyone who loves their pets.
