This thing is absolutely INSANE🥹😍.

totally outdid herself and it’s better than I ever could have imagined. Tony is a HARD dog to paint and somehow she got his coat pattern just right. She even got the little lippie bubbles 👄 🫧 😩. This is something I’ll cherish for the rest of my life.

Melissa is so kind to everyone she meets. She also does her pet portrait paintings full time. Help support your local pet artist and go get a custom painting made of your pet❤️.

Super stoked to welcome Myriam to the team☺️💕. She’ll be helping with “in the client’s home” pet sitting and will hopefully be training in the near future as well!

“Myriam grew up chasing butterflies and rescuing frogs from the pool; she knew early on that she wanted her life to involve animals. Her partner in crime, Wiley the Australian Shepherd brings that wish to life, along with Keiko the cat and a handful of pet reptiles.

Throughout her professional life, Myriam has worked with a variety of species ranging from domestic pets to exotic animals, such as birds of prey and alligators. Over the years she became particularly invested in not only animal care, but even more so their behaviour and emotional welfare. When it presented itself, she seized the opportunity to help dogs and cats with difficult behaviour needs in a shelter environment, which allowed her to enhance her skill set when it came to challenging behavioural cases.

Myriam’s superior knowledge of canine behaviour has often placed her at the forefront in high-stress situations, such as safely handling highly reactive animals or working with dogs exhibiting extreme fear or aggressive behaviour with a gentle approach.

It’s her belief that the core component to achieving the best care possible for our beloved pets is to understand what they are communicating to us, and she strives to share her knowledge and expertise so that families can establish strong bonds with their furry companions based on mutual trust and respect.”
