Local, loving pet care!
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 always so thorough and reliable! I totally trust her. :)
Melissa’s communication is very detailed and she’s great at attending to my anxious pup’s needs!
Clarice loves Melissa! It makes me so happy to know she’s well taken care of and loved while I’m gone. I’ll definitely book Melissa again the next time I need a cat sitter!
Incredible sitter! Melissa took good care of our little old lady and kept us updated the whole time. What more can you ask? Thanks so much, Melissa!

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.
