Pet care experience
I have experience with all aged dogs, including a Great Dane puppy. I have lived with animals my entire life. I have been pet-sitting since elementary school. I sit for multiple dogs and cats at the same time, juggling feeding, potty breaks, and medications. One of my favorite places to be is at the bottom of a puppy pile.
Reviews
Melissa has been taking care of our dogs and cats for more than 3 years. Our dogs see them as almost a third parent and love when they arrive to stay with them. They're great about sending regular photos to us while we're away, and have stayed with our animals from short weekend stays to two week stints. We have a number of difficult animals in various ways, and they've been great with all of them, including medicating them and helping to potty train a puppy. We absolutely trust them to take care of our babies and our house while we are away.
Kind, flexible, response! Instantly connected with my pup and make my anxious boy feel safe.
Melissa has taken care of my pup several times, and every time I've been impressed with their promptness, consistency and care for her. They complied with all my requests and gave me plenty of updates.
Melissa has been our cat sitter for over two years now and continues to do an amazing job. Whether it's just for a couple of days or over two weeks when we are on vacation, I feel very secure knowing that our cats are being watched by someone who takes the time not just to feed them and empty their litter boxes, but to groom them and play with them. We receive photos and regular updates too. It can be hard being away from your pets, but it's a lot easier knowing they are being taken care of by someone who goes above and beyond to make sure they are healthy, safe, and loved in your absence. Highly recommend!!

Safety, trust & environment
I will keep your pets safe in and around your home, making sure they don't get into anything that could hurt them or create unnecessary mess. I am extra cautious about toys and treats, ensuring that your pets are just as healthy and lovely as you left them.
Information Melissa H. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pets have any special needs or requirements. I can handle all-size dogs, but do better with dogs under 75 lbs.
A typical day
I love playing fetch with dogs and letting them run around the yard. I use teaser toys and ball toys for kitties to chase around.

Availability
I am currently unemployed. My schedule is wide open, so I have plenty of time to entertain your fur babies and care for them as if they were my own.
