Vet med student. Boomer sooner!
Pet care experience
I am a current vet student and avid runner. I love taking dogs on walks/runs and spending time outdoors! I can easily take a dog on a hike (weekends). I have ran, walked and watched many different breeds and sizes of dogs and have vet tech/assistant experience in a small animal clinic. I am very comfortable administering oral medication and also have experience with diabetic dogs (glucose checks and insulin shots). I have experience with handling nervous or shy dogs as well. I enjoy going on walks and runs with dogs as a way to enjoy being outdoors and giving them the amount of exercise that they need depending on activity level and physical condition. I am willing to work with owners to ensure that their dogs are treated as if they were my own. I also enjoy an engaging game of fetch if that is desired! My family always had dogs while I was growing up. I had a highly energetic Jack Russel terrier as a kid and currently my family owns two rescue Catahoula mixes. I will not have my dogs with me so I will be very flexible to meeting/watching new dogs.
Reviews
Good. It takes time to establish rapport with all dogs. Mugs is even longer because he was a stray.
Melissa was a wonderful dog sitter! My pup definitely enjoyed her coming over and taking her on long walks around the OU campus. Melissa was great about keeping me updated while I was gone and sent lots of pictures which I really appreciated. I plan on booking her everytime I’m out of town when she is available!
Melissa did a fantastic job and my dog loves her. She kept me updated with photos and even stayed overnight to make my dog more comfortable while I was away. She is reliable, responsible, thoughtful and caring to both the dog and owners needs. I will definitely use Melissa again in the future and was very pleased with her !
Melissa was an excellent puppy & house sitter! She was attentive, had lots of energy, and most of all, seemed to really enjoy hanging with our crew! We hope she'll house sit for us again!

I love to go walking and hiking. My favorite running trails are around the OU campus and around the National Weather Center. Walking in local neighborhoods is also accessible and just as fun!
