All Furry Friends are “Paw”-some💛
Pet care experience
I’ve taken care of family and friends’ pets since I can remember. I care deeply for pets and their well being. I have supported animals, not just my own, through health issues and helped rehabilitate 2 dogs after they experienced vestibular syndrome. I go above and beyond for our furry friends because I know their time with us is only a portion of our lives, but it’s their entire life and they deserve the best!
Reviews
Melissa is fantastic with animals! I watched her take care of her own dog for 15+ years while also helping me out with mine. She's extremely attentive and diligent. She's punctual and a great communicator. Melissa cares deeply for the people and animals in her life and will do anything to ensure they are well taken care of. She's also so friendly and generally lovely to be around.
Melissa took care of my dog Buca when I moved to the west coast. I needed time to get myself set up and coordinate moving her out here; she stayed with Melissa for the whole summer and received amazing care. I felt so at ease knowing my dog was with her and was safe. She even took her to the vet for me and kept me posted on the entire situation so I didn’t have to wonder (just an ear infection thankfully). I’m so grateful my sweet girl was in such good hands for a full 3 months, she got so many snuggles and lots of walks, she even slimmed down a bit to a healthier weight and had so much energy by the time we were reunited. Melissa was a great help during a stressful time.

I am not open to boarding in my own home. However, should you wish to have me care for your pets in your own home I will diligently follow any rules you have laid out. Be sure to check gates and fences in the yard before letting your pet out, securing and garbage that their sneaky noses might find, and following all feeding routines.
Information Melissa H. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special needs, social engagement concerns, or have certain quirks that you’d like me to accommodate. I know each furry friend has their own personality!
A typical day
I know how important play is for dogs mental stimulation, getting on their level and playing, or throwing a ball for what feels like forever is just as important as getting them out for long walks with lots of opportunities to check out new smells!

Availability
Currently my schedule is flexible, so I will have plenty of availability and am happy to discuss individual needs. I love going on walks and will be sure to entertain your pet with new routes and lots of time for play! I am open to in-house boarding during the week near the Uxbridge area to help keep your pets within their routine and not cause too much stress for them.
