Boujee Paws And Claws

🐾 A Little Update from Boujee Paws & Claws 🐾

I just want to take a moment to say THANK YOU to all of my amazing clients who have reached out, checked on my husband, offered to help, and checked in on me while I take a little break from pet sitting. ❤️

For those who may not know, Boujee Paws & Claws is a one woman show 🫶 ran alongside my full-time career. Between working my full-time job and caring for my family, I have a lot on my plate right now, and with Jeremy recently having his second total knee replacement, my priority is being home with him and helping him through his recovery.

I am incredibly grateful for the understanding and kindness you have all shown me. So many of you have reached out to check on Jeremy, offered your assistance, and made sure I’m doing okay too. It truly means more to me than you know. 💗

Right now, I’m taking a little time to focus on my husband, my family, my full-time career, and making sure Jeremy has the care and support he needs during his recovery.

Boujee Paws & Claws will be back to taking care of your fur babies as soon as I’m able to safely and comfortably accommodate more pet-sitting schedules. 🐶🐾

I’ll keep everyone updated as I’m able to open my schedule back up.

Thank you for trusting me with your babies, supporting my small business, and most importantly, for being so understanding during this time. I’m truly grateful for every single one of you. 💗🐾

With love,
Melissa & the Boujee Paws & Claws crew 🐾

🐾🔥 HEAT ALERT FOR MY BOUJEE PAWS & CLAWS FAMILY! 🔥🐾

Just a heads-up to all of my amazing clients: the heat is no joke this week! 🥵

With temperatures already feeling unusually warm early in the morning and the heat index expected to approach 100°, I’ll be taking extra precautions with our pups over the next several days.

When it’s this hot, a normal walk can quickly become too much for our four-legged babies, especially on hot pavement. Their paws can burn, and dogs can overheat much faster than we realize. 🐶☀️

So for the safety of your babies, walks may be shortened, moved to a cooler time of day, or replaced with a quick potty break and some indoor enrichment when necessary.

Please know I will NEVER push a pup through unsafe conditions just to get a full walk in. Their safety comes first, always. ❤️🐾

I’ll also be keeping a close eye on:
🌡️ Temperature & heat index
🐾 Pavement temperature
💧 Hydration
🫁 Signs of overheating or fatigue
🌳 Shade and cooler walking areas

If it’s too hot for me, it’s definitely too hot for their little paws! 😂🔥

Thank you for trusting me with your babies and for understanding that sometimes the best walk is no walk at all when Mother Nature decides to turn Ohio into a frying pan. 😅

Stay cool, drink lots of water, and give those pups some extra cuddles this week! 🐶❤️

Because your babies deserve to be spoiled AND safe. 💕

🐾💕 A WHOLE WEEKEND OF PUPPY LOVE! 💕🐾

This past weekend, I got to spend the entire weekend with one of my weekly walking clients! Normally, I get to see this sweet girl during the week for her daily walks, but this weekend I got the full puppy-sitting experience. 🐶💕

And let me tell you… this girl has NO OFF SWITCH! 😂

We went on tons of walks, played, explored, and had plenty of puppy fun. She is truly GO, GO, GO from the moment she wakes up until the moment she finally decides she’s had enough. 😂🐾

But when she finally poops out and gets tired, those snuggles are THE BEST. 🥹❤️ There is nothing better than a happy, exhausted pup curling up next to you after a weekend full of adventures.

I loved every minute of our weekend together, even if she managed to keep me on my toes the entire time! 🐾💕

🚨🚨🚨And now for a little Boujee Paws & Claws heads-up:

To everyone who has reached out about pet sitting, my husband will be having another knee surgery here shortly, so I’ll be taking some much-needed time to be with him and help him through his recovery. ❤️

Because of that, my availability will be very limited for a little while. If you’ve already reached out about dates, I’m working through my schedule and will do my very best to accommodate everyone I can.

Thank you so much to all of my amazing clients for trusting me with your fur babies and for always supporting Boujee Paws & Claws. I truly love what I do, and getting to spend weekends like this with your pups is exactly why. 🐶💕🐾

🐾💕 Spending the weekend with a familiar face makes pet-sitting extra special!

As much as it’s hard to be away from my own pups, there’s something wonderful about returning to a regular client and being welcomed right back in. 🥹🐶
This gorgeous girl is actually a regular of mine, so getting to catch up with her for this weekend stay was such a treat. She isn't much of a cuddler—she prefers her personal space over lap time—but she’s a total shadow who likes to know where you are every single second of the day! 🥰

Knowing that I can give my clients complete peace of mind while they’re away means the world to me. Whether they love belly rubs or just prefer a loyal shadow keeping watch from across the room, every pup gets the absolute best care. ❤️
I may come home completely exhausted after a busy weekend of pet sitting, but my heart is always a little fuller. 🐾❤️

Enjoy some of these pictures and videos of this sweet shadow! 📸🐶

Thank you to all of my amazing clients for trusting me with the members of your family. That trust means more than you know. 🥹💕

Spending the weekend with these beautiful babies!

When it’s too hot outside and the air quality is bad we have indoor play time!

Watched this beautiful baby this week while family out of town 🫶

Such a cutie 🫶🐶😍

🐾 Ohio friends, today’s air quality is being impacted by smoke from the Canadian wildfires, and while we may just notice a hazy sky, our fur babies can be affected much more quickly than we realize.

Dogs breathe faster, spend more time closer to the ground where pollutants settle, and can be more sensitive to poor air quality, especially puppies, senior dogs, and pets with heart or lung conditions.

Here are a few ways to keep your pets safe today:
🐶 Keep walks short and stick to potty breaks if possible.
💧 Make sure fresh, cool water is always available.
🏡 Keep windows closed and use an air purifier if you have one.
🌅 Try to go outside early in the morning or later in the evening when the air may be a little cleaner.
👀 Watch for signs of coughing, wheezing, watery eyes, tiredness, or difficulty breathing.

At Boujee Paws & Claws, your pets’ safety and well-being will always come first. Today might be a great day for indoor enrichment, extra cuddles, puzzle toys, and a movie marathon with your best four-legged friend. ❤️

Please keep an eye on local air quality updates and take extra precautions for the pets who depend on us every single day.

Stay safe, Ohio. Give your fur babies an extra hug from us today. 🐾

🐾 Your pet’s safety will always come before a paycheck. ❤️

This week’s heat has been absolutely relentless, and while I know our pups love their walks, extreme temperatures can quickly become dangerous.

At Boujee Paws & Claws, I may recommend rescheduling, shortening, or even skipping a walk if the pavement is too hot or the heat index reaches unsafe levels. Paw burns, heat exhaustion, and dehydration can happen much faster than people realize. No adventure is worth risking your best friend’s health.

Instead, we’ll get creative! If it’s safe to do so, I can offer:
🐶 A later evening potty break if temperatures cool down.
💧 Fresh water and plenty of love.
🎾 Indoor playtime, enrichment, and lots of belly rubs.
❄️ Air-conditioned snuggles and companionship.

Every decision I make is with your pet’s best interest at heart. They trust us to keep them safe, and that’s a responsibility I take very seriously.

Thank you to all of my amazing clients for understanding when Mother Nature has other plans. Summer doesn’t last forever… even if it sometimes feels like the sun is trying to personally settle a grudge with Ohio. ☀️😂

Stay cool, stay hydrated, and give those furry family members an extra hug from me! 🐾💙

Someone was excited to see me this morning! 🫶

Watching this cutie for the past week and today was our last morning breakfast date! 🐾🫶 Her family comes home today!
