Dr. Melissa Fisher grew up in northern New Jersey with many cats, hamsters, birds, and her dog, Tre, spending most of her time outdoors. After graduating from Delaware Valley University in 2016 with a degree in Small Animal Pre-Veterinary Medicine, she spent two years as a veterinary technician and supervisor in New Jersey, while pet sitting/walking part time. In her spare time, Dr. Fisher played rugby for the Doylestown Dragons before heading to vet school. 

After graduating from Ross University of Veterinary Medicine in January 2022, Dr. Fisher moved in with her boyfriend in Mechanicsburg, PA. His outdoor orange tabby, Bob Marley, gets along famously with her dog, a coconut retriever named Pebbles, and two cats, an orange tabby named Mango, and a black tabby named Porter. When Dr. Fisher is not walking with her dog, she is hiking, kayaking, watching rugby, playing ultimate Frisbee in town, and finding all the best local breweries.
