Gentle, patient care for dogs, cats

Pet care experience

Loving, patient, and diligent care for your pets in your home during the day and evening while you’re at work or on a trip. I will ensure food, meds, and potties are administered on time and correctly. If they could, my babies would tell you that critters in my care have my full attention, and I’m great at managing multi-pet households.

Melissa did a fantastic job watching our cats. She not only fed them, but stayed to play and pet them each visit, which they absolutely loved. I will 100% be continuing with Melissa to watch our babies in the future.

Melissa was extremely attentive to my pets and there needs. I felt much better about being away from my pets knowing Melissa was taking care of them. Will definitely be rebooking in the future.

Safety, trust & environment

Have special instruction or needs? No problem, I love giving your pets personalized care. I know that maintaining a routine is very important at all times for our pets’ well being, and especially so when you are away. I’ve been taking care of cats for over 15 years, dogs for 10 years. I love all animals and would be happy to also watch over lizards, birds, hamsters, rats, guinea pigs, fish, or other tiny ones you might have in your care.

Information Melissa H. would like to know about your pet

Please make time for a 15 minute meet-and-greet before the visit date in order to go over care and security, as well as to introduce me to your fur babies.

A typical day

I prefer and excel at smaller breeds because that is what I am most familiar with - chihuahuas, terriers, shih tzus, dachshunds, corgis, for example. As a dog mom whose had multiple tinies, I can provide the extra care that goes into the safety of our littlest ones.
