🐈 We all love our feline companions, but sometimes their scratching habits can leave our furniture looking worse for wear. So, what's a pawsome pet parent to do?
Would you rather:
A) Trim your cat's claws regularly: Regular trims can help minimize damage. However, some cats dislike the process, and it needs to be done frequently.
B) Provide scratching alternatives: Scratching posts, cardboard scratchers, and sisal mats redirect your cat's natural scratching instincts. The key is finding textures and locations your cat prefers.
C) Use positive reinforcement: Reward your cat for using the scratching post with treats or praise. This encourages them to develop good habits.
💫 Personally, we recommend a combination of all three! Regular nail trims can blunt those sharp points and minimize damage. Providing scratching alternatives gives your cat an outlet, and positive reinforcement helps them understand the desired behavior.

⏰ Who else starts their day with a furry (or feathery, or scaly!) alarm clock? There's something truly special about being greeted by those excited tail wags, happy purrs, or the sweet chirps of our beloved pets.

🥰 Life just gets better with pets around, doesn't it?
🍀 But the truth is, we also feel incredibly lucky to work in a field we're passionate about! Helping pets and their humans live happier, healthier lives is a mission we wholeheartedly embrace.
❤️ Every day brings a new opportunity to connect with amazing animals and the people who love them. It's a truly rewarding experience, and one that makes those early-morning tail wags all the sweeter.

Hello, I’m Melissa! 👋
I’ve been a professional dog walker and pet sitter at Four Seasons For Paws for 7 years now! I enjoy getting all my doggie friends out for some fresh air and exercise - whether that be a leisurely stroll, brisk walk or a game of fetch or teaser pole! It doesn’t matter if it’s sunny, raining or snowing! I also enjoy my petsitting visits and catering to all their individual and special needs. Rats have been my favorite species to look after! I love rodents!
My animal care duties don’t end when the “work” day is over. I’m also a volunteer wildlife rehabber specializing in squirrels! I have raised and released over 100 orphaned squirrels. One of my favorite parts of this job is building and designing pre release enclosures. To see them go from helpless orphans to independent thriving squirrels is incredibly rewarding.
I also have quite a few fur babies of my own - 2 dogs, 2 cats, 3 goats, 19 chickens and all my foster squirrels. When I am not caring for animals, I enjoy biking, hiking, photography, walking my own dogs, listening to podcasts, beekeeping, working in my garden and cooking. There are never enough hours in the day but I feel so grateful to spend most of them doing what I enjoy!!
Small puppies can do big things! 🍩 🐶 🫶🏻
🌍 June 24th is supposedly Cat World Domination Day, but let's be real, isn't that just their regular Monday? They've been subtly training us for years, mastering the art of the side-eye and the perfectly timed meow to get exactly what they want. World domination? More like world manipulation, and they've got it down to a purrfect science!
😈 What diabolical plan is your feline overlord plotting right now? Is it world hunger domination (treats, obviously) or the strategic placement of hairballs on your most important documents? Spill the beans (or kibble) in the comments below!
🥰🥰🥰
When we get emails like this, our hearts are SO full! ❤️
🚙 In the aspect of travel, we really are like the post office. We go out in rain, snow, ice, heat, and every other kind of weather. We will always be there to care for your pets.
🤔 Did you know that we assign Pet Care Specialists to visits that are located within 15 minutes of where they live? It really helps to ensure that we are able to get to your pets safely and in a timely manner. And that’s a win for everyone!
💖 We simply love the opportunity to provide love and care to our animal friends while providing complete peace of mind for their parents. It’s just what we do!
🤗 Thank you for such a beautiful email, Pam! We appreciate you!
🐶 We all want our furry friends to be happy and well-trained, but sometimes life gets busy and training sessions fall by the wayside…
Here's a quick reminder that can make a big difference: Train little and often!
Instead of one long training session that might leave your pup overwhelmed, try breaking it down into shorter bursts throughout the day.
Why is this helpful?
🟢 Attention Spans: Shorter sessions are easier for pets to focus on, leading to better retention and learning.
🟢 Positive Reinforcement: Frequent training opportunities allow you to reward good behavior consistently, solidifying desired cues or commands.
🟢 Fits Your Schedule: Small, bite-sized sessions are easier to fit into your busy day, making training more manageable.
For example:
Practice "sit" while waiting for your coffee to brew.
Work on "leave it" during a commercial break.
End playtime with a quick "down-stay" before putting away toys.
Even these short moments add up to big results!
🤔 Do you have any favorite short training tips? Share them in the comments!
🐶 It's finally here - Take Your Dog To Work Day! Who's ready to ditch the sad puppy eyes at home and bring their furry best friend to the office (assuming it's pawsome with your workplace, of course)?
📖 Studies show that having dogs around can boost morale, reduce stress, and create a more positive work environment. Plus, who wouldn't want some extra cuddles and playtime during the day? 🥰

What a relief! 😹
🤩 Hey pet parents!
We know separation anxiety can be a real struggle for both you and your furry friend. Whining, barking, destructive behavior - it can be tough to see them so stressed when you leave. 😔
Do you have any tips or tricks that have helped your pet deal with separation anxiety?
Maybe it's a special toy or leaving a familiar scent on your clothing. Perhaps it's a gradual goodbye routine or using calming music. Whatever your experience, share your wisdom in the comments below!
❤️ Your advice could be just what another pet parent needs to help their fur baby feel more secure.
And don't forget to tag a friend who might be facing this challenge!
Let's all work together to create a calmer, happier experience for our pets when we're apart. 🤝
😮 Did you know there are over 85 million households with pets in the US? Amazing, right? But sadly, many shelters are overcrowded, forcing them to make difficult decisions about animal welfare.
This June, during National Foster a Pet Month, we can make a difference! By opening our homes to foster pets, even for a short time, we can create a ripple effect of positive change.
Here's the incredible math: If just 2% of pet-owning households in the US fostered an animal, shelters would have the space they need to care for all pets in need, reducing the risk of euthanasia due to overcrowding.
You CAN make a difference! Here's how:
💭 Consider Fostering: Many shelters have flexible fostering options to fit your lifestyle. Short-term fostering can be incredibly impactful.
🗣️ Spread the Word: Share this post and encourage your friends and family to consider fostering.
🏠 Support Shelters: Donate supplies, volunteer your time, or help with fundraising initiatives.
Together, let's create a world where every pet has a loving place to call home. ❤️
Is there any other reason? 💪
🤎🤍 Happy Father's Day to all the dads who fill our lives with love and laughter!
🫶🏻 Today, we celebrate the many ways fatherhood takes shape. It's the guiding hand teaching us to ride a bike, the reassuring voice calming our fears, and the endless love that sees us through thick and thin.
🐾 But fatherhood extends beyond human bonds.
It's the man who throws the perfect fetch for his furry best friend, the patient soul who cuddles with a nervous cat, and the one who talks to his fish like a wise old friend.
☺️ Being a pet parent is a special kind of fatherhood. It's the unwavering commitment to their happiness, the silly games that bring endless joy, and the quiet moments of companionship that warm our hearts.
To all the dads, (of humans or pets) we celebrate you today! 🥳
🧍♂️🐕 Happy Dog Dad Day to all the amazing men who spoil their pups rotten (in the best way possible)!
We all know that feeling of coming home to that wagging tail and those puppy-dog eyes. Dog dads, you provide endless love, cuddles, and epic adventures for your furry best friends.
🗣️ Tag a Dog Dad in the comments who deserves a serious shoutout today!
🩵🤍🤎 Is it YOU holding the leash? We see you getting up for those early morning walks, cleaning up the occasional "present," and showering them with belly rubs. You're a true hero (and treat dispenser) in your pup's eyes! 🦸♂️
Meet our team!

I've loved animals all my life and knew from a young age that I would like to work with them. Growing up I had all manner of pocket pets - gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs - and took every opportunity to hang out with the neighbor's dogs. As an adult I have had rabbits and recently adopted my first dog, which was pretty exciting! When not walking my own dog, I enjoy gardening, baking and reading sci-fi books. I'm looking forward to all the new animals I'll get to meet through Four Season For Paws!
“My dad picked me!! And he’s the best dad.”🥰❤️

😩 We all know the feeling: you're swamped with work, social obligations, and errands, and suddenly caring for your beloved pet feels like another mountain to climb. Maybe walks get skipped, playtime gets cut short, and that nagging guilt about not giving your furry friend enough attention just grows louder.
🤹♀️ Been there, done that! Here at Four Seasons for Paws, we once faced a similar challenge. We knew many pet parents struggled with juggling busy lives and scheduling exceptional, convenient pet care. We wanted to create a solution, but the problem seemed overwhelming.
🤔 We took a step back and realized the problem wasn't singular. It was a combination of factors: limited time, lack of resources, and feeling overwhelmed by options.
So, we focused on solutions, not just the problem! We developed a variety of services to address those specific needs:
✔️Flexible Scheduling: We created customizable dog walking, pet sitting, and dog training options to fit busy schedules.
✔️ Streamlined Communication: Our easy-to-use app allows pet parents to book and cancel services, update care instructions, receive visit journals, make payments, and manage everything in one place. And it can be done at any time!
✔️ Tailored Care: We offer personalized plans to cater to each pet's unique needs and preferences. Because pet care is not one size fits all!
😃 The Result? Happy Pets, Happy Parents!
By tackling the root causes of the problem, we were able to create a solution that truly made a difference. Now, pet parents can feel confident that their animal companions are receiving the love and attention they deserve, even on the busiest days.
♥️ Remember, when you're feeling overwhelmed by pet care challenges, take a deep breath and break the problem down! And when you need us, we're here to help you find solutions that fit your lifestyle and your pet's needs.

🐾 Declawing is a practice that should be avoided at all costs! Here are some important reasons why you should never declaw your beloved feline friends: 1️⃣ It causes immense pain: Declawing is not a simple nail trim; it involves the amputation of the last bone of each toe. This painful procedure can lead to long-lasting physical and emotional trauma for your furry companion. 2️⃣ It hinders natural behavior: Cats use their claws for various purposes, including climbing, stretching, and self-defense. Declawing deprives them of their natural instincts and abilities, affecting their overall well-being. 3️⃣ It can lead to behavioral issues: Cats that have been declawed may develop behavioral problems like biting or avoiding the litter box. This is because they are in constant discomfort and may become fearful or aggressive as a result. 4️⃣ It alters their balance and coordination: Claws play a vital role in a cat's balance and coordination. Declawed cats may struggle to maintain their stability, leading to difficulty in walking or jumping. 5️⃣ There are humane alternatives: Instead of declawing, there are humane alternatives available to protect your furniture and keep your cat happy. Regular nail trims, scratching posts, and soft nail caps are effective ways to prevent damage without causing harm. Remember, our furry friends rely on their claws for many essential aspects of their lives. By avoiding declawing, we can ensure that they live a pain-free and fulfilling life. Let's prioritize their well-being and embrace them just the way they are! 🐱💕 Please share this post with your friends and family! This information could help so many of our feline friends. ♥️
🌸🐾 Spring has sprung, pet parents, and we're jumping for joy! 🌼🌷 The first day of this blooming season is here, bringing with it a sense of renewal and the promise of warmer days ahead. Let's celebrate the arrival of spring with our beloved pets by our side! 🌞🐶 As the weather gets milder, our furry pals can't wait to stretch their paws and explore the great outdoors. Longer walks, playful romps in the park, and endless tail wags await them! 🌳🐾 But as we embrace this change of seasons, it's important to keep our pets' well-being in mind. Here are a few tips to ensure they stay happy and healthy during this transition: 1️⃣ Shedding Season: With spring comes shedding season! Help your pets by brushing them regularly to remove loose fur and prevent matting. 2️⃣ Allergy Awareness: Just like humans, pets can also experience allergies. Keep an eye out for signs of itching, sneezing, or watery eyes. Consult your vet if you notice any unusual symptoms. 3️⃣ Flea and Tick Prevention: Warmer weather means these pesky critters come out to play. Make sure your pets are up-to-date on their flea and tick prevention treatments. 4️⃣ Spring Cleaning Safety: While you're sprucing up your space, be mindful of cleaning products that can be harmful to pets. Keep them in a safe place and opt for pet-friendly alternatives whenever possible. 🗣️ Now, we want to hear from you! Share your pet's springtime adventures in the comments! Whether it's basking in the sun, chasing butterflies, or simply enjoying the fresh air, we can't wait to see their joyful moments! 🌼📸🐾
🐱 💊 In this behind-the-scenes post, our very own Mandy will demonstrate how to safely and gently pill a cat! Mia was the purrfect kitty assistant. We believe in making every experience as stress-free and comfortable as possible for our furry friends. Here's our secret to pilling your cat with kindness: 1️⃣ Create a Calm Environment: Find a quiet and familiar space where your cat feels relaxed. It could be their favorite spot or a cozy corner in your home. 2️⃣ Be Prepared: Gather all the necessary supplies before you start, including the pill, some tasty treats, and a towel or blanket (if necessary). 3️⃣ Positive Reinforcement: Before attempting to pill your cat, spend a few minutes showering them with love and affection. This helps create a positive association with the overall experience. 4️⃣ Approach with Care: Wrap your cat in a blanket or towel if needed. Hold the pill between your thumb and index finger, making sure it's positioned correctly. With your other hand, gently tilt your cat's head backward, exposing their mouth. 5️⃣ Swift and Gentle: Using your index finger, press down on the lower jaw to open your cat's mouth. Place the pill as far back on their tongue as possible, ensuring they swallow it properly. 6️⃣ Massage for Comfort: After giving the pill, gently massage your cat's throat in a downward motion. This helps stimulate swallowing and ensures the pill goes down smoothly. 7️⃣ Reward and Reassure: As soon as the pill is swallowed, offer your cat a delicious treat and shower them with praise. This helps create a positive association with the pilling process. Remember, not all cats require wrapping in a towel or blanket. If your cat is calm and cooperative, you may skip this step. However, if your cat tends to be more resistant or anxious, gently wrapping them in a soft towel or blanket can provide a sense of security. If you find the pilling process too challenging or your cat becomes too stressed, it's b

🎉🐾 Hi pet parents! Can you believe it's already a new year? 🎉✨ Just like when we accidentally write the wrong year on the date for the next 11 months, our furry friends also need time to adjust to changes. 🐶💕 Let's talk about how we can help our pets adjust to new things and make this transition smoother for them. 🐾🌟 1️⃣ Take it slow: Whether it's a new family member, a change in living arrangements, or a new pet sibling, introduce these changes gradually. Give your pet time to adjust and show them lots of love and reassurance along the way. 2️⃣ Stick to a routine: Consistency is key! Try to keep their feeding, exercise, and playtime schedules as consistent as possible, even with other changes happening in your life. 3️⃣ Create a safe space: Give your pet a cozy corner with their bed, toys, and familiar scents. This will be their go-to spot when they need some alone time or feel overwhelmed. 4️⃣ Keep them entertained: Engage your pets in mentally stimulating activities like puzzle toys or interactive play sessions. It helps redirect their focus and keeps their minds occupied during times of change. 5️⃣ Be patient and loving: Change takes time for everyone, including our furry pals. Show them patience, understanding, and extra love during this adjustment period. Your presence and reassurance mean the world to them. Let's make this year a time of positive changes and smooth transitions for our pets too! 🐾❤️ Share your tips and experiences in the comments below, and let's support each other in helping our furry companions adjust to new things. Together, we can make this year fantastic for our beloved pets! 🎉🐶

For as long as I can remember, I have loved all animals. Every shape and size! From the chipmunks in the yard to the giraffes in the grasslands. Every creature has always held a special place in my heart. As a young lady, it was my passion to care for and save as many animals as I could. I remember bringing home all kinds of surprise pets! (My parents really love me...) Some became members of the family, and some went to good homes. I always made sure that I did everything in my power to ensure a great life for all animals who crossed my path.
When I entered the workforce, I had one mission. It was to be the best I could be at any position that I was granted. I worked in retail, factories, and restaurants. I progressed in each industry, but it seemed that something was always missing. Vacations seemed to be the only time I could experience true happiness.
The vacation that I took in 2014 changed my life forever... I was getting ready to head out for a two week vacation and all was well! Except that a few days before I left, my pet care arrangements fell through. I was in a panic! Who would look after my babies on such short notice? Luckily I have an amazing sister and she cared for my pets while I was away. When I returned from that vacation I remember thinking about going back to work. And how I wasn't exactly overjoyed to go... Then it hit me!! I could do something that would be very much needed and it would be fulfilling... I could be that trustworthy someone to provide amazing care for pets while their owners were at work or out of town! One year later, Four Seasons For Paws came into the world.
Before Four Seasons For Paws could become a reality, I knew that there were many things I needed to know. I immersed myself in books and articles about pet behavior. I took courses about training dogs and evaluating body language. And for the safety of all in my care, I became certified in pet First Aid and CPR. I continue to learn from other pet care professionals in the area. Getting to know the amazing pet care professionals at veterinarian offices, grooming facilities, rescues, supply stores, and other pet sitting companies has brought me so much joy and knowledge. We are all working together to give the pets in our community the healthy, happy lives they deserve!
Providing excellent pet care and peace of mind for their people is my new, heart felt mission in life! I have the opportunity to combine my love for animals and my drive to succeed all in one caring little pet care company! In the last two years, I have been building a team of like-minded, passionate, and professional pet care providers. Having a team has enabled me to expand my dream in the community. Together, our mission is to provide trustworthy, dependable, loving care to our client’s companion animals - in the comfort of their home. We will always strive to go above and beyond our client’s expectations and to become their pet’s second best friend! We love what we do! And we can't wait to meet you and your fur-babies!
