Melissa is a lifelong animal lover and has been pet sitting in the Southern California area for over ten years. Growing up she had family dogs and cats, rodents and fish so she has a soft spot for all animals, big and small. Her professional animal care experience started during college (Cal State San Marcos, Biological Studies) where she would care for the pets of her family and friends.
In 2009 she moved from San Diego to Los Angeles where she worked at a Veterinary Hospital and was a volunteer with a Golden Retriever Rescue Group (GRCGLAR). This move and the constant exposure to the animal world fueled her drive to work with animals everyday. Merging her love for animals, her veterinary experience and love for biology was a perfect fit.
Melissa prides herself on providing exceptional care of your furry family members while you're away. Providing care in your pets home environment helps to minimize stress and your home is cared for and looked after as well. Pet care and home care in one! Her background in animal massage can help with anxious/nervous dogs, decrease inflammation and ease chronic pain sufferers.
