About Melissa

Lifelong animal lover. I've raised cats and dogs from babies until they were seniors. At 42, I can happily say that I've had three cats consecutively, since I was 7 years old. I've reared kittens, trained puppies, administered medications, handled special feedings, and I give great neck scratches. I've also raised an iguana and have an active fresh water aquarium. I've volunteered at animal sanctuaries and have experience with livestock and wildlife. I'd describe my personality as creative, warm, and upbeat. I like working with animals because they are my favorite people. I'm looking for a job with animals on a flexible schedule. I started working with animals when I was a child. People have chosen me as their animal sitter for as long as I can remember. In my spare time, I like to play with my cats, enjoy my fish tank, and be in the sunshine. One thing you should know about me is I'm happy to help. My skills include cuddles, feeding, walks, play, and enrichment.
