HOMETOWN HOUNDS, LLC

WELCOMES YOU WITH OPEN PAWS!
Hometown Hound (10)_edited.png

I love animals. Taking care of them and making a difference in their lives is my passion. I grew up with Siamese cats, raised English Bulldogs from puppies, and I am the proud Dog Mom of an active Australian Labradoodle.

​

I am a 1998 Graduate of Bucknell University and a 2003 Graduate of Pace University School of Law. After working in law and then being a Stay-at-Home Mother and Wife for ten years, I decided I wanted to pursue my love of animals in the pet industry. With my family's blessing, I created Hometown Hounds, LLC in the Fall of 2019. 

​

Whether it’s walking your dogs, feeding your cat, or taking care of your hamster while you’re away, I will always provide a warm, nurturing environment for your pets and treat them like members of my family.   

​

Sincerely, Melissa

"Melissa has been walking our dog for 2 years and we couldn’t ask for a better person to help take care of our pup. She is extremely trust worthy and shows him so much love. She not only walks him, but also plays with him, talks to him, and even helps out with little things at the house while she’s here. She always sends detailed reports after she leaves and also checks in on him when she’s not with him. Melissa is always willing put in extra time if necessary and we know we can rely on her. She really loves our dog and he loves her too. Knowing that he is safe and well cared for while we are not home gives us true peace of mind. We are lucky to work with her and recommend her with the highest of confidence for anyone who is looking for help with their pet."
