About Melissa
I am a friendly, family oriented, trustworthy, experienced and passionate pet lover. I have worked with animals in one way or another my whole life. Over the years I have worked as a vet nurse, head vet nurse, clinic manager, at Guide Dogs in the breeding centre looking after the Mum's and bubs, run an online pet store, provided pet sevices and as a relief manager at a cattery for five years. I love all animals and enjoy working with them as much as I can. I live with my teenage sons and our puppy Eddie.
I am able to visit your cat(s) or small animals for half an hour and check they are healthy, happy, fed and loved while you are away. I can do this once or twice a day, as required. I do not do daily home visits for dogs if you go away, cats and small animals only sorry. I also offer one hour puppy/adult dog pop ins during week days to make sure your puppy/dog is toileted, fed (if required) and give them some play time and love while you are at work.
I look forward to meeting you and you furry family members soon and getting to know you all.
