Melissa is a seasoned pet care professional with experience in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York City, and now calls Tucson home. She has cared for a wide variety of animals—including dogs, cats, chickens, and even snakes—and is known for her detailed, often humorous updates that keep pet parents informed and at ease.
Melissa and her husband had hoped to adopt an older cat, knowing kittens are often chosen first, but instead rescued Ripley as a kitten in Queens, NYC just ahead of a major storm. Now a mischievous 12-year-old senior, Ripley is a reminder that pets are often the ones who choose us.
