Friendly and professional pet care

Pet care experience

Thank you for considering me to take care of your furry family members! I understand just how important your four-legged kids are to you and promise to look after them with the highest quality care. I have 18+ years of pet care experience, including: -I currently own a deaf rescue dog, and have worked with her using positive reinforcement training and ASL hand signals. I also rehabilitated her from heartworm -I’ve worked with skittish and shy dogs, exercising patience to gain their trust -I have grown up around animals my whole life -In the past I've owned ferrets, hamsters, and fish -I've been pet-sitting for over eight years, during which time I've done it all - overnight boarding, dog walking, daily drop-ins. You name it, I've done it

Melissa was by far the best dog sitter we have had. We will for sure use her again.

Would definitely use Melissa again. She kept us updated on how Mochi was doing and sent pics and videos daily.

Melissa was a wonderful pet sitter! She came by and talked with me about our needs beforehand and gave me regular updates with photos. I would highly recommend Melissa and plan to ask her to pet sit for us again.

Information Melissa H. would like to know about your pet

Any and all breeds are welcome! Just let me know if your dog has any special needs that I should be aware of, so that I can make sure your dog is getting the quality care he or she needs.

A typical day

Lander and the surrounding area is full of wonderful hiking trails and quiet back streets, perfect for dog walking! If you have any favorite routes or trails, I’m happy to walk your dog there. Practicing leash obedience? Let me know and I’ll make sure your pup gets his training in! Dog needs to burn off some extra energy? We’ll go throw some toys around the backyard! Whatever your pup needs, I will happily accommodate.
