About usHello & Welcome! My name is Melissa Holder and I am the care provider and Founder of Pet Care on Demand. I would like to spend a few moments telling you a little about myself and why I decided to open my dream business.
My experience in pet care began as a child. Growing up I had a Rough Collie named Lucy, a Persian named Keykey, a Tabby named Scootie, a hamster named Go-Go, and several goldfish. All of them were much-loved members of our family. Today, I am blessed with two amazingly adorable cats named Jackson and Bella. I am fun-loving, cheerful and trusting, goal-oriented and reliable, a loyal friend, and of course, a true animal lover!
In December of 2000, I graduated with a Bachelor of Science from the University of Missouri-Columbia. Upon graduation, I accepted my first job in commercial insurance. After several years in the industry, I decided to change course and pursue a childhood dream; a self-guided career that allowed me to spend my days working with pets and their owners was just what I had in mind!
I was born in Ocala, Florida and moved to St. Louis, Missouri as a teenager. I knew when the time was right I wanted to return to the Sunshine State. So, here I am, in beautiful St. Augustine following my dream and starting my own pet care business!
As I follow my heart, I look forward to the many new faces I will meet along the way…
