About Melissa

WELCOME =)

Note: Choose "Dog Boarding" when you book, as "Small Pet Boarding" is not yet listed on Pawshake. =) 

I am taking hamsters, gerbils, mice and rats at this time for boarding. I am not able to take rabbits at this time. Please inquire about guinea pigs. 

I bring a decade of experience caring for small pets, both as an owner and as a pet sitter. 

I am experienced caring for elderly pets. 

My apartment is centrally located in downtown Edmonton, with short term parking in the alley for drop offs. 

I am eager to hear from you about what your pet needs, what their personality is like and why they are so special to you. 

Let's touch base and get your pet booked for your upcoming trip. 


Boarding in my home includes:

-A quiet, safe area for your small pet's pen. 

-Photos and a written update, sent by email, text or Pawshake app daily. 

-Daily spot cleaning of pen. 

-Full change of bedding as needed. 

-Daily feeding and refreshing of water. 

-Daily cleaning of water bottles, exercise wheels and tunnels. 

-Petting and interaction, if your small pet enjoys this. 

-Brushing, if needed. 

-Daily cleaning of food dishes. 

-Changing of sand bath minimum once weekly. 

-Medication administration. Please notify ahead of time if medications need to be administered. 

-Your small pet will have NO interaction with any other animals nor my own pet to maintain safety and prevent any possible transmission of illnesses.


What you'll need to bring:

-Your pet's cage or pen. 

-Your own bedding, food and cage supplies. 

-Medication if needed. 


Take care,

Melissa

Melissa was great with our two cats! She petted them and played with them and brushed them. It's the first time I've come home from a time away where they seemed perfectly fine and not mad at me when I got back;)

Melissa did an incredible job. She's very communicative and I had absolutely 0 issues with her throughout, my boy was very well taken care of. Will 100% use again in the future!
