Safety, trust & environment
I will provide all the loving care to your pets in your that I provide to my own pets in my home. I look forward to getting to know them, to earn their trust, and to meet their needs - through exercise, playtime, feeding, cleaning, and most importantly, lots of love!
Information Melissa W. would like to know about your pet
It is important to let me know if you dog(s) and/or cat(s) have any special needs, or behaviors/quirks to take into account each visit. My job is to make your dog and/or cat feel at ease and to make sure they are happy, so it is very important to share this type of information before the first visit.
A typical day
I love to interact with your dog(s) both mentally and physically. We always go for a nice walk, depending on the dog's activity level, and then spend time at home playing with toys and interacting. It is important to not only physically provide your dog(s) with activity, but to mentally stimulate them and have them feel comfortable and content each visit.

Pet care experience
My life has been filled with the joy of both dogs and cats. As a child, I grew up with Collies and adopted my first cat in college. In my adult life, my husband and I have raised a black lab/golden retriever, three Great Pyrenees and five cats. Our current household is with our beloved 14 year old Great Pyrenees, Dolly and our two cats, Licorice and Ken. My love and care for my own pets is something that I would like to offer now to others. I am a dedicated pet owner and enjoy taking my own dog for daily walks every day, and enjoy spending quality time with my indoor cats. I am comfortable with all breeds, sizes and ages of both dogs and cats and would love to offer my love and care to your fur babies!
Reviews
Melissa is the best! She has cared for my senior cat for several years and I always have great peace of mind knowing he is in good hands. Melissa spends time hanging out with my kitty and he really enjoys her company. She sends me lots of wonderful pictures and updates. I highly recommend her.
Melissa agreed to check on my kitties last minute and I'm very grateful for it! She always sends pictures and a detailed check-in. The cats run to meet her - even my skittish one!
Melissa is the best!! She always makes us feel so at ease when we need to leave our senior cat. She does a fantastic job administering her meds, and always goes above and beyond. We feel so lucky to have found her!!
Melissa is great! She sends lots of pictures and my cats love her. She's thoughtful with updates and even picked up packages that were left while we were gone. She spends time with each cat so neither feels neglected 😍
