About Melissa

Hi! My name is Melissa, I am a 21 year old in my 3rd year of Vet school at Massey University, Palmerston North. I love all animals, big and small and am passionate in caring for all animals. I have great experience in looking after pets and would love to continue this throughout my degree by looking after your beloved pets. From my experience in small animal clinics, I know and am confident in administering medications, and have learned calming and low stress handling techniques. 

While I am caring for your pet, I will be in good communication with you; sending photos and keeping you updated on how good of a time they're having with me! As a student in a flat with no pets, I am very pet deprived as I have grown up with pets by my side all my life. I am beyond excited to meet your pet and become one of their new best friends.

Dog Walking

As a student I am very flexible around times for dog walking. I am happy to walk/run morning, during the day or evenings - whatever you want and what is best for your pet. I love running so I will happily give your pet a good tire out if they love running too! I have my full licence and a car (5 star safety rating). I am more than happy to drive to the beach or another of your pets favourite destinations. My starting rate is $25/hr - happy to negotiate for a longer time if wanted.

Home visits

I can be flexible in visiting your pet and give them a cuddle and play at any time of day. I am open to staying with your pet for a longer period of time if need be. I will be happy to carry out small tasks such as feeding, giving clean water, walking, administer medications and more! 

Pet and House sitting

I am confident in house sitting multiple pets for multiple nights. As well as caring for your pet, I will keep the house to the same standard as I walk in by cleaning, taking out rubbish, bringing in mail etc. As requested by you, I am willing to be at your home for certain time frames during the day. 

Please feel free to message me with any questions or special requests. I will be honoured to look after your pet and give them lots of love and care that they deserve.

Looking forward to meeting you and your pet! 

Melissa

Great communication and getting more confident with handling my dog in a manner consistent with how I’ve trained her. So far the dog has come back from her runs tired
