I will be caring for pets in the client's home so I will provide care based on the preferences set by the pet parent and needs for their pets.

Information Melyssa J. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any needs or behaviors that I should be aware of ahead of time. I have skills with a wide variety of dogs and needs, it is just good for me to come in knowing all that I can.

A typical day

I will be caring for pets in the client's home so I will provide all of the love and fun the pet parent would like and need for their pets. We can play fetch, I can set up a lick matt, I can set up nose work fun for the dog, whatever they like and can do!

Pet care experience

Aside from being the eager, primary pet caregiver (since I was old enough to be) for a wide variety of my own pets all my life (25+ years), I have been providing home and pet sitting services for over 13 years and have now been dog walking for HSSW for about 6 months. Being a teacher, I have time off and available to care for pets during times when people need it most, holiday and summer travel times!

Once again Melyssa did an amazing job of taking care of our dog and our house. She checked in regularly and provided us with lots of pictures. Our pup was very happy and it was evident he was very comfortable with her. Thank you so much Melyssa for your attentive care of our baby!

So glad we found Melyssa! Our dogs adore her, and we love that she is so trustworthy and responsive - we know that our house and our corgis are in good hands.

If there were 10 stars available - we’d be selecting that score. Amazing care to both the dogs and our home.
