Paws and Refresh was created from a shared calling to care for both animals and the homes where they live.

We are Leslie and Melissa, partners in life and in business. We understand how much trust it takes to invite someone into your home and into your pet’s routine. That trust means everything to us. Whether we’re walking your dog, caring for your pets overnight, checking in on animals with special routines, or helping refresh and organize a space in your home, our goal is always the same: to bring calm, comfort, and peace of mind.

This work feels personal to us because we know that pets are family and that home should feel like a place where you can breathe. We are drawn to the quiet, meaningful details—making sure an animal feels safe, noticing what a space needs to function better, and helping people feel supported when life feels busy or overwhelming.

Paws and Refresh combines dependable pet care with thoughtful home refresh services. We care for dogs, cats, small animals, birds, reptiles, farm animals, and the spaces that help families feel grounded. Our approach is warm, respectful, organized, and attentive to the unique needs of each home and each animal.

We believe care shows up in the little things: fresh water, a calm presence, a photo update, a reset space, a tucked-away blanket, a cleared surface, a pet who feels seen.
