Passionate Animal Whisperer
Pet care experience
I've had 10+ years' experience working with animals in clients’ homes. I’m the proud mama of a calico-tortie cat called Oona, and the third parent to friends’ and clients’ fur babies. I grew up with an adorable 100-lb. yellow lab named Zack, so you can be sure I'm good with all breeds, even (or especially) the big ones. I provide trustworthy care and service for house- and dog-sitting. I'm also great with plants! I can provide all levels of care to all sizes and breeds of dogs and would love the opportunity to care for and love on your pet!
Reviews
We’ve used Melissa a couple times prior. She continues to be fantastic! Our boys love her. We were able to get away for a few days with piece of mind that house and boys were well cared for. It’s evident that they were loved while keeping to their routine. We came home to two very happy dogs. Thanks again!
Melissa was a great house and pet sitter for a long weekend. Excellent communication in advance. Treated both our house and pets with great care. Will definitely use her again for future get-aways.
Melissa took excellent care of our pups while we were away for the weekend! She kept in touch and sent pics and videos of them frequently. Our house was immaculate when we got home and the dogs were well loved and cared for. Melissa is great with animals and made us feel good about leaving the dogs with her. She is friendly, communicative, and upbeat- a great sitter!
It is such a relief when you can trust someone with your pup and doing it in your home! Melissa did a great job. Even went above and beyond to take care of Remi. I will be asking her again to stay with Remi!!

Safety, trust & environment
I am not in the position to host your pups at my home, but I have transportation and I’m willing to come to you. I have long worked in others’ homes in a variety of capacities, so you can be sure I will treat your home with as much respect as your fur babies.
Information Melissa H. would like to know about your pet
I definitely want to know if you’re working on any specific areas of behavior modification and training, so that I can stay consistent with your goals. Other factors include: is your dog comfortable around other dogs? Are there nearby dog parks or walking trails? How does your dog do on a car ride?
A typical day
I definitely love to take my buddies on long walks. We can play outside, or run around indoors, or even go on a puppy play date. It all depends on the clients’ preference.
