As long as I’ve know Melissa, she has always had a pet/s in her life. They have always been part of the family and treated as such. In the past several years, besides caring and loving her pets, she has been volunteering her time to raise puppies for Freedom Guide Dogs in her home. Melissa has also pet sited for my anxious 16 year old dog with loving care and comfort, and my 2 rescue cats. She even drove my senior girl

Why we want to house sit

I am so eager to experience different places around the world as a local. If I can do that while in the company of some furry friends... I've hit the jackpot! Reliable wifi is a must for me as I may be teaching virtually over the summer
