Can’t wait to snuggle your pets🫶🏻
Pet care experience
I have three dogs and two cats at home with my family in West Virginia. I also have rescued two cats of my own! Their names are Sven and Koda. I have experience with larger dogs in the past as well as older animals. I have had animals around me all my life and am very well versed in understanding different personalities and behaviors when it comes to all different types of dogs and cats. I am a graduate from JMU and work now for the university. I love walking and can even go on runs with dogs if they need the exercise. I am not scared of larger dogs and really enjoy cats, so I'm very open to any type of animal! I am very patient and enjoy playing around with animals. Can't wait to meet your furry friends!
Reviews
Melissa H. cancelled a booking within a day of the start date.
Melissa was so great and booked on short notice. My cats are shy and will hide if they are scared, but they loved Melissa and were clearly comfortable in her presence. I would definitely book again!
Melissa did a great job on short notice. She has a calm demeanor and understands dog behavior. Would definitely book her again.
Melissa dog and house sat for us for a whole week and we couldn’t be more pleased with our experience. Happy pup, happy house, great communication! Look no further for a great care taker for your canine companion!

Safety, trust & environment
I will make sure your animal has proper hydration after I walk them or drop in to say hi! I also make sure the home is the same way I found it before I leave. If I'm staying in your home I'll make sure to check for accidents and keep you updated throughout the stay.
Information Melissa H. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your animal needs any special medications. I have some experience giving animals medication orally, but none with injections. I also would love to know about any areas in your house they cannot go.
A typical day
I like to take the dogs on a variety of walks so it doesn't get boring for the either of us. I also will try to keep the dog outside until it uses the restroom properly and if you have a backyard I love running around and playing with them. I also would love to take them to dog parks if I have a longer stay and maybe hikes too!
