Melissa’s Mutt Hutt

I’ve been working with Melissa’s Mutt Hutt for 3+ years now for my 2 dogs. I couldn’t ask for a more dependable, trustworthy, personalized and flexible company — all things that are important for someone like me that travels a great deal for work. As a new client, Melissa will come to your house, meet your dogs, and ask detailed questions about them. She’ll then work to make sure your dogs are ‘matched’ with a great Mutt-​Hutter. There have been many instances where I have last minute travel — and Melissa is always very accommodating. And when I travel I don’t think twice because I know that she and her wonderful group of Mutt-​Hutters will treat my dogs as they would their own — so I never have to be worried. In addition to boarding services, my dogs are also walked multiple times a week — which means I get a detailed note about how the dogs did on their walk when I get home from work! I treat my dogs like children — so I mean it when I say that Melissa’s Mutt Hutt has been wonderful and I won’t think of anyone else to watch and walk my dogs!

I have wrriten a review before which gotten taken down, but I don’t mind writing another because I call Melissa to get a professional pet sitter every time I travel out of town and can’t recommend her services highly enough.
Having rescued two big energetic siberian huskies, I can’t leave them with friends who may flake out and I can’t imagine putting them into a kennel with a bunch of strange dogs. It just wouldn’t be fair. So I call in professionals.
Melissa and her team are simply the best! They will meet with you prior to the trip to make sure they bond with the dogs and get to know their routines. It is a huge weight off the mind to have a professional watching your dogs in your own home who understands that the needs of every dog may be different. Even better are the handwritten reports each pet sitter leaves for us detailing our dogs activities. They always have so much fun!
Thanks again Melissa!

Melissa and her «Mutt Hutters» are my HERO!
I really didnt know what to expect when we started looking around for dogwalkers. I’ve seen plenty of dogwalkers at the dog park where we would take our Boxer — and they always had packs of dogs and just stood off to the side and let them run wild, get into fights and just plain ol’ wreak havoc.(for $ 15bucks an hour) Not what I wanted for MY baby :)
So I was less-​the-​thrilled when our careers took us away from the house long enough during the day that a dog-​walker was pretty much a requirement (for everyone’s sanity)
I contacted Melissa — and was thrilled from my first phone call. She and Goldie are sweet and engaging and you can really tell how much they love what they do and LOVE dogs.
Melissa came out to the house, met with us and Brooklyn (our pup) and explained her entire service.(she even gave us a mini-​training class — with tips that we still use everyday) This is not your regular dogwalking service –this is legit!
She assessed our dogs personality (and hyperness) and set us to meet with our «mutt hutter» to make sure we liked/​trusted him/​her.
I really appreciated the time and thoroughness Melissa took during this initial stage. You are trusting total strangers with your beloved animals, AND access to your house — so you better make sure you feel comfortable.
We have our MH come 4x a week and our dog is SOOOO much happier. Its ridiculous (and SOOO much more well behaved on the leash)
When we started having additional issues with aggressiveness– after having our Mutt Hutter for a few months (Brooklyn is a LOT to handle), Melissa came out to our place on the weekend to meet with us to discuss and see how she and her Mutt Hutters could help.
I cant explain how impressed I was that Melissa would take such interest in the behavior of our dog and how sincere she takes the safety, wellbeing and care of each client (and her staff)
I would highly recommend Melissa’s Mutt Hutt to anyone looking/​needing extra help with their poooches. Its not cheap– but literally, its the best money we spend everymonth!

This is not your average dog walking business. Melissa is a true professional, with an honest and unparalleled love of all animals. It is amazing, and her dedication shows in the quality of her business.
Melissa and her staff (called Mutt Hutters) really do give your furry friends the same love and attention they woud give their own pets, something we all wish for our buddies when we are out of the house. You won’t have to worry about your pet feeling sad, lonely, or in need of exercise; they will even take your dogs on long walks, runs or hikes if you wish!
I have seen dog walking companies that take six dogs of all different sizes to the dog park… and then just sit there listening to music. The Mutt Mutt would never stand for this! It is a cut above the rest, and I would recommend this company to anyone with pets.

Thanks again Melissa’s Mutt Hutt! Brandie did a great job checking in on Remy the cat. She sent us pictures via email and nice notes about how he warmed up to her and did the bunny back kick to her LOL… he only does that with the two of us so he must have really liked her.
FYI am in DTLA.

Melissa is the epitome of professionalism.
I had the privilege of working for her, and I’ve worked for LOTS of dog-​walking companies, and Melissa is far and wide the best around.
I’ve never met someone who cares about animals more. I thought I did. I was wrong. I’ve got nothing on Melissa.
Melissa is amazing and dedicated and hand-​picks all of her staffers.
I would recommend her to anyone and everyone and would certainly trust her with my best buddy.
