Greetings! I'm Melissa and I moved from the UK to Karlsruhe in 2023 with my husband and 3 cats. I've been in the veterinary field for 15 years and a qualified veterinary nurse for 8 years. Through my education and career, I've realized that my passion is animal care, enrichment, and socialization, thus leading me to pet sitting. I was pet sitting in the UK for my coworkers, clients at the veterinary practice I worked at, and my neighbors and I want to continue that work here full time.
I am in every sense of the phrase, a crazy cat lady! I enjoy the challenging cat who makes me work for their love, and I respect the cat who wants their own space. Do you have a cat that needs specialized play sessions with toys such as a laser pointer or playing fetch? I can provide long play sessions to contribute to your cat's enrichment. Do you have a shy cat that likes their own space? I can provide a safe, stress free visit while still making sure your cat gets the adequate care they need. My old coworkers gave me the nickname of Cat Whisperer and I strive to keep up that persona. I also love dogs, rabbits, other small furries, and all exotics. I am perfectly comfortable and capable of taking care of any exotics.
Due to my veterinary nurse background, I am able to give your pet medication if needed. I can give oral medication, injections such as insulin, physiotherapy, and massage. If your pet needs daily medication, monitoring after surgery, specialized medical care, or physical therapy, I am the pet sitter for you!
I'm a vegan, so I love all creatures large and small. I love to exercise, so taking your dog for a long walk to explore my new city is a great way to stay in shape. I want to continue my veterinary medical career, but I want to provide animal care at home rather than in a clinic setting. I'm passionate about cats, I'm fascinated by exotics, and I'd love to pet sit for your babies!
