About Melissa

I’m new to this platform and would love the opportunity to connect with you and your pets. I invite you to read a little about me, and if you feel I would be a good fit for your furry family members, please feel free to reach out. I would be happy to support you and provide attentive, loving, and responsible care.

Since arriving in British Columbia two years ago, I have been travelling and caring for pets across Metro Vancouver, the North Shore, and Vancouver Island. In my photo gallery, you will find some of the pets I have cared for — many of them more than once. I would also be happy to provide references if needed.

I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, birds, and ducks, which taught me from an early age how important patience, attention, and routine are when caring for animals. Through both personal and hands-on experience over the years, I have learned that every pet has its own personality, comfort level, and needs.

I understand that some pets are energetic and playful, while others may be shy, anxious, older, or require a calmer environment. I always try to adapt to each pet’s routine and personality to help them feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away.

I offer pet sitting, house sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits. Walks are usually adjusted depending on the pet’s age, energy level, health, and routine. I also pay close attention to feeding instructions, medication schedules if needed, home cleanliness, and overall safety.

I will care for your pet as if they were my own and treat your home with the same respect and attention. I understand how important trust and communication are when leaving a beloved pet in someone else’s care.

I also make it a priority to stay in regular communication by sending updates, photos, and videos so you can feel reassured that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

As someone who genuinely enjoys animals and exploring new places, I value creating meaningful connections with both pets and their owners. My goal is always to provide a calm, caring, and dependable experience for everyone involved.

I look forward to meeting you and your pets soon.
