My Kids Have Paws!!

Pet care experience

As a dog mom for more than 20 years, I love having all kinds of dogs in my life. I will care for your pets like I care for mine: lots of love, walks with lots of sniffing opportunities and toys aplenty! I can care for dogs ranging in size from tiny Yorkies to big Mastiffs and in age from 4 weeks to over 20 years! I have over 15 years experience with cats and am familiar with the special needs of exotic pets like rats, fish, lizards and birds too. I clean litter boxes, cages, and even aquariums. Please feel free to contact me for drop-ins or pet sitting in your home. I also do home services like mail/paper pickup, vacuuming, etc to look after the house too.

Melissa was great! She stayed with our girls for about a week. She sent us plenty of great pictures and updates! Very fast to respond to any messages as well! She took great care of the house & brought in a package as well. She also offered to take care of our fish! Thanks so much!

Melissa did a wonderful job taking care of our fur baby. She kept us informed on how things were going and made us feel at ease while out of town. Highly recommend her!

I care for your pets like I care for mine: lots of love, walks with lots of sniffing opportunities and toys aplenty! I try to stick to their usual routines and schedule as much as possible.

Information Melissa F. would like to know about your pet

For a first meeting, I think it is best to meet your pets in their home with you present so you can show them we are friends. I can learn their routine, their meds and meals and you can get to know me too.

A typical day

We play with toys, run around the yard and chase balls, go for walks, and pick out some favorite treats. :-). There are naps and cuddles and even wrestling if your dog is into that. Ha!

My pets are an intergral part of my daily routine. We get up, do walks, breakfast and meds first thing. I have a dog on insulin so we get those injections done right after meals. Throughout the day we do more walks, play with toys, and of course, there are naps galore!
