Nomadforanimals unfolded organically several years ago after my best friend furry soul mate crossed over the rainbow bridge. We had over a decade together which as you know as animal lovers, is never long enough. We were extremely connected and the loss was deep. After Foxy passed, I hit the road in her honor for adventures and long term property animal sitting while working my professional remote day job which can be done from anywhere, and WOOF, the rest is history! Along with mindful animal care, I shift the environment, bringing a calm, grounding, crystal clean, happy, healthy, presence into your home - something most clients say they feel profoundly upon their return. I also take care of properties, unique dwellings, land, without animals. I come to you, and stay on property, house, estate, sustainable eco community, sanctuary, farm, airbnb, etc., for an extended period so you can go away with complete trust and ease. I am with your furry beloveds and property around the clock, caring, loving and taking care of everything. Also, experienced with caring for nervous or special needs animals and administering medication. The last few years have taken me to beautiful places across the United States - Hawaii (the Big Island, Kauai, Oahu, Maui ), California, Idaho, Arizona, New Mexico, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, N. Carolina, Oregon and Colorado - and internationally to many places in Europe, Mexico, and Central America. I am a business woman, entrepreneur, compassionate, reliable, trustworthy, healthy, trained in several healing modalities, artist, adventurer, truth seeker, and love all animals. If you are extremely private or high profile, know that I have many clients like you, and honor discretion always. Nomadforanimals has grown just by word of mouth and this site was created for those interested in seeing photos. I have cared for numerous dogs, cats and all kinds of sweet souls from our animal kingdom

including donkeys, horses, pigs, tortoise, goats, rabbits, chickens, ducks and some of the most adorable cows & mini horses. Please know, I only care for animals being raised for 'long loving safe lives'. All animals are kings and queens in my world and deserve to be cared for, spoiled and safe at all times.

Warmly,

Melissa

ANIMALS ARE TO BE TREATED AS ROYALTY. THEY ARE THE ANGELS OF OUR EARTH AND WE ARE SO LUCKY TO HAVE THEM! I CONNECT WITH ANIMALS IN A PROFOUND WAY.

EVERY SINGLE ANIMAL DESERVES LOVE, RESPECT AND SAFTEY. WHEN I STAY, I AM WITH YOUR FURRY BESTIES ALL THE TIME. THEY RECEIVE THE BEST LOVING COMPASSIONATE SAFE RELIABLE CARE.

COMMITTED TO THE HEALTH, WELLBEING AND WELFARE FOR ALL SENTIENT BEINGS! KINDNESS & COMPASSION IS A WAY OF LIFE.

DON'T HAVE ANIMALS AND JUST NEED A TRUSTED RELIABLE HOUSE, ESTATE, FARM SITTER OR LAND MANAGER? NEED SOMEONE WITH GOOD ENERGY TO STAY ON SITE WHILE YOU TRAVEL FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME? WATER PLANTS, GARDEN AND BRING MAIL IN?

'KAHU'.

In Hawaiian culture, you do not call yourself your pet’s “owner.” You are referred to as their “Kahu.” The word Kahu has a deep meaning and is defined as the sacred role of a guardian, protector, steward or honored attendant. Essentially, someone entrusted with the safe keeping of something precious - something cherished. What a Kahu protects is not their property. What they protect is a part of their soul. We become better when we truly love an animal. We embrace the connection of all life when we embody what it means to be a Kahu.

Frequent Questions

How do I get In touch with you to learn more?

Our business model is truly unique. Everything varies with length of stay, number of animals, needs, and location. Our clients and animals always seem to return for more due to the interesting business model and quality trustworthy care! Simply send an e-mail direct to melissa@nomadforanimals.com and include your phone number. We will get back to you within 24 hours.

How long do you usually book out?

It is always best to contact several weeks or months in advance of your travels as we tend to book several months out.

How much time do you spend with my furry bestie?

We are with your babies around the clock. We understand how important it is to have a trusted loving reliable sitter that actually spends alot of time with the furry babies. We never leave them alone for more than 2 hours, and have some clients who want us with their anxious rescues around the clock.

Do you take care of properties if one does not need animal help?

Absolutely!We do alot of house sitting in homes, estates, and various unique properties. Live on the property for an extended stay, take in mail, water plants and garden or whatever you need. Sometimes people just want a good energy in the house while away for long time. We are extremely responsible, trustworthy, professional and reliable. Always honor full discretion as many of our human clients are high profile and very private.
