Business Details
We are Melissas Pet Sitting and More, founded by Melissa Triester after she relocated to the area from Philadelphia in November 2005. Our founder is a licensed healthcare professional by trade, giving her unique expertise to identify and respond to subtle changes in pet health and behavior. We hold American Red Cross Pet First Aid certification and CPR certification, ensuring we are prepared to address minor medical emergencies for pets in our care. Our business is fully insured and bonded, and we are active members of Pet Sitters Associates to uphold industry best practices. We offer customized in-home pet sitting services that eliminate the stress of unfamiliar environments, kennel exposure to illness, and lack of individualized attention. Our Day Care on a Leash program provides structured, one-on-one outdoor time for dogs tailored to each pets energy level and needs.
We also offer pet massage therapy services, with gift certificates available for holiday and special occasion gifting. Every client receives a free initial meet and greet to discuss their pets unique needs, tour their home, and complete necessary care paperwork. We prioritize transparent communication, allowing clients to call and speak directly to their pets caregiver at any time while they are away. Our overnight stay packages include light home care tasks such as mail collection, trash removal, plant watering, and light rotation of household lights to maintain the appearance of an occupied home. We are committed to providing the same level of care and affection for your pets that we would give our own, with a focus on consistency, safety, and peace of mind for pet owners.

Services
In-Home Pet Sitting
Our in-home pet sitting service allows your dogs and cats to stay in their familiar, comfortable home environment while you are away. This eliminates the stress of unfamiliar kennel surroundings, exposure to other animals illnesses, and lack of individualized attention. Your pet receives one-on-one care customized to your specific requests, with health and behavior monitoring to address any needs immediately.
Doggy Daycare on a Leash
Our Doggy Daycare on a Leash program provides structured, one-on-one outdoor exercise and socialization for dogs in your local area. Each outing is customized to your dogs energy level, breed, and preferences to ensure they stay safe and entertained. This service is perfect for busy pet owners who want their dogs to get exercise and attention without being left alone.
Overnight Stay Packages
Our overnight stay packages provide at least 12 hours of in-home pet care, with a caregiver arriving between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. each evening. This service works for weekend trips, holidays, or any overnight time away from home. All overnight stays include home tasks such as mail collection, trash removal, and watering up to 7 indoor plants.
Pet Massage Therapy
Our pet massage therapy service is designed to help dogs and cats relax, reduce muscle tension, and improve overall comfort. This service is suitable for pets of all ages, including senior animals with joint stiffness or active dogs with sore muscles after play. Sessions can also support better circulation and help pets stay calm during stressful periods like owner travel.
Gift Certificates
We offer gift certificates for all our pet care services, including pet sitting, doggy daycare, and pet massage therapy. These certificates make perfect gifts for pet owners in your life for holidays, birthdays, or special occasions. Recipients can redeem their certificates for any of our customizable care services at their convenience.
