Melissa can care for
Availability
I’m currently working remote part time, and go on walks daily! I would love for a furry friend to join and make extra money to pay for my student debt. Due to some recent career changes I am available a couple nights out of the week as well!

About Melissa H.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I cannot care for animals in my own home because my roommates have three cats who get a bit scared. But I have plenty of nanny experience working in other families homes, and would love to come help!
Information Melissa H. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog takes any medication, and if they have any special health concerns or special routines :). If your dog is aggressive please let me know ahead of time.
A typical day
A typical day with me means your pup gets plenty of love, structure, and fun. We’ll start with a nice walk to get energy out and some playtime to keep them happy and stimulated. Throughout the day, I make sure they get food, fresh water, bathroom breaks, and lots of attention—whether that’s belly rubs, fetch, or just cuddling on the couch. I always stick to your pet’s routine, because I know consistency helps dogs feel safe and comfortable. By the end of the day, you can expect a happy, well-cared-for pup (and lots of photo updates along the way!).

Pet care experience
I bring lifelong pet experience, from growing up with three dogs to adopting and caring for senior cats. Families trust me because I’ve worked in their homes as both a nanny and pet sitter, passed multiple background checks, and handled emergencies with calm care. Whether it’s dogs or cats, I treat every pet like my own!
Cat care experience

Melissa also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Melissa was an excellent pet sitter and took very good care of the 2 dogs and 2 cats. She was very respectful and a joy to have looking after the animals
Melissa is thoughtful, kind and patient with my pets. She has helped us care for our three cats. One of the three is extremely challenging to bond with and he is very fond of Melissa. She takes the time to get to know each of them and their individual needs. I personally think she’s an animal whisperer. Highly recommend. 10/10
Melissa will provide quality time, including petting and play. She loves dogs, and they love her back. She will also be punctual and is someone you can rely on.
