Walks & Cuddles Galore!

Pet care experience

I am dedicated to providing individualized care to each dog since I know that each and every dog has their own unique personality! If your dog needs five walks a day.. lets do it! Are they a cuddle bug who needs a human to snuggle with at night.. sign me up!...Or maybe they're an anxious little pup who needs someone with them most of the day? Whatever your dogs needs may be.. I can assure you that I will accommodate them. Both my husband and I work flexible hours from home. The longest your dog would ever be alone would be 2-3 hours if we had to run some errands. I have two dogs of my own a 20lb terrier mix and a 12lb Papillon-mix. Both are gentle and LOVE other dogs!

Absolutely amazing!! Melissa and her husband were SO wonderful to have as dog sitters! Before booking we had a meeting visit at her home, which made me feel so comfortable to leave my boy with her and her pups. She was very thorough and made sure he was taken care of in every way! She sent fun pictures every day while I was out of the country, and I was so happy to see my boy playing and having a blast! I think he really felt like he was at home! :) 1000 stars for Melissa and her husband, I highly recommend them!! ⭐️

Melissa continues to be my go to sitter for my little old man dog Arnie. Arnie is always showered with love and attention and the pictures I get are wonderful. Arnie and Melissa husband have a special bond and I truly feel like it’s Arnie’s second family when he’s with them. Highly recommend!

Melissa was awesome. Our dog had a wonderful week hanging out with Melissa and her family. She was spoiled and loved. Melissa communicated quickly and sent us daily updates on how Petra was doing. We will absolutely use Melissa again.

This was the second time our dog stayed with Melissa and this visit was just as wonderful as the first! Our dog felt right at home, even sharing her own bed with one of Melissa’s dogs. She again had an abundance of ball time, walks and snuggles. The updates with lots of photos were great. We’ll be back!

Safety, trust & environment

Our home is super dog friendly! Dogs are allowed to roam freely throughout the house and we have a nice sized backyard that is completely protected (brick fencing). We also have several dog gates in case there's need to separate dogs for feeding, individual time etc. As well as lots of beds and blankets for them to cozy up on in the living room, dining room, bedroom, and outdoors. If requested I can ensure your dog follow the same routine/rules as they do when at home with you.

Information Melissa H. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know details about your dogs personality, potty training needs, food allergies, health conditions, and how they get along with other dogs.

A typical day

The activity list is endless! However, first I will need to know if your dog has an adventurous spirit or more of a homebody? Each day we will explore various walking trails from strolling around the neighborhoods of Huntington Beach and walking at the beach. If your dog likes to be out and about we will sometimes even take the dogs with us to dog friendly coffee shops or restaurants (with your permission of course). If your dog is more of a homebody, then that's no problem either! We have a fabulous backyard for them to explore. Otherwise, our home is equipped with dozens of toys, treats (if that's okay with you), and comfy spots to curl up on the couch, bed, or wherever your dog feels most comfy! My goal is ultimately to make sure your dog feels comfortable, relaxed, loved, and has plenty of fun!
