I work from home with a flexible schedule, so pet care easily fits into my daily routine. I walk myself 3 times a day and often like to explore. Walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddle breaks naturally blend into my flow, and I always make sure each pet gets the attention and love they need. Whether it’s a calm companion or an energetic pup, I can meet them where their at.

About Melissa J.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both the animals and the space with deep respect and care, as if they were my own. I ensure your pets get lots of outdoor time and exercise for a good night's rest! I take time to connect with each pet so they feel safe, seen, and loved while their family is away. Cleanliness, communication, and calm presence are my priorities, so you can feel confident and at ease knowing your pet (and home) are in nurturing hands.

Information Melissa J. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know whether the dog shed's, is flee free, shows signs of aggression towards anybody and what their regular bathroom routine looks like when being let out.
A typical day
I love river walks, trails, exploring new neighborhoods and playing catch if they do! Sometimes, I let the pets choose what way we walk when I have lots of time! I love to see where their minds want to explore most. If it’s a hot day, I’ll likely find a path to the river for a refreshing cool off. Sometimes I might ask to borrow your dog to take them to the mountains too.

Tailored care for you & your dog!
Pet care experience
As a holistic health practitioner and lifelong animal lover, I bring a calm, grounded presence and deep attunement to every dog I care for. Each pup is unique, and I take the time to truly understand their energy, temperament, and needs—whether they thrive on adventure, prefer gentle companionship, or simply want a safe lap to rest on. With me, your dog will be treated like family. I provide personalized walks, play, and comfort, always with safety and wellbeing as the top priority. My clients trust me for my thoughtful attention, reliable communication, and the genuine love I bring to every visit. I’m here to make sure your dog not only feels cared for while you’re away, but also supported in ways that nurture their joy, confidence, and sense of security.

We are SO delighted we found her and we will certainly return! Melissa is amazing!!! Truly!
Mellisa looked after our pup for the day and was pleased with the experience.
Melissa is amazing! Definitely recommend her for your dog walking/sitting needs. She walked my dog, Finn and sent me updates about where they walked and also sent pictures which was really nice and reassuring! Your dog will be in great hands with her :)
