About Us / Melissa

At a very young age, I knew I loved animals and wanted to care for them. Whether it was a friend's or relative's pet that needed attention, or a stray on the street in need, there I was tending to this animal and making sure it had everything it needed.

Then when I was old enough to be employed, I realized that I could incorporate doing something I loved with my means of income. I began as a professional pet groomer grooming dogs and cats of all breeds. Working at kennels and boarding facilities while grooming allowed me to experience the responsibilities of taking care of animals while they stayed in our care overnight.

At these places of business, I was also involved in dog training, pet nutrition and behavior. During this learning process, I met and worked with many clients and their pets and built a lasting relationship of trust and love. They allowed me to come into their homes and care for their pets while they were away on vacation or business trips. I enjoyed this tremendously and appreciated the fact that I could work hours that fit best with my schedule, all while doing something that was near and dear to my heart. As a result, I have transferred all my experience into my pet-sitting business so that you will feel secure that someone you trust will lovingly care for your pet as if you were there.
