I am the Cat Coordinator for SAFE Broome in Western Australia (Save Animals From Euthanasia). Melissa is one of our most trusted foster carers and I truly believe she will be a wonderful house and pet sitter for anybody, anywhere in the world. She takes care of our animals for short stays and longer stays, is reliable, keeps an immaculate house, and is always pleasant. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
