Hi there! I’m Melisa, a 28-year-old Neuropsychologist based in Alton with a lifelong love for animals, especially cats. Growing up in Turkey, I was surrounded by cats and always enjoyed their companionship. Although I couldn’t have one at home due to my mother’s phobia, I cherished every opportunity to care for and interact with them. For the past eight years, I’ve been caring for cats, starting with my aunt’s cats and later as a professional pet sitter in Italy for four years now. I’ve looked after cats, dogs, and even birds, tailoring my care to each pet’s unique personality. I respect their boundaries and personal space, which I believe is why cats often warm up to me quickly. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just ensuring they’re happy and well-fed, I’m here to make them feel loved and cared for.
