A walk a day keeps the vet away!

Pet care experience

There is nothing I enjoy more than hitting the mountain with my furry friends for the afternoon. Everyone's lives can unexpectedly change and through out our dogs lives we can get busier. I understand this and right now I have a flexible schedule and would like to use that time to help out someone else who has a long day and wants their dog to still get out. I had a very friendly playful dog, Stevie, and seeing the joy shed get from going on a run, or to the dog park up the street, has made me want to start helping other dogs get that chance everyday whether it's just a quick walk or a day on the mountains I'd love to get to know your best friend while spending some quality time exercising. And of course always ending with belly rubs! (Belly rubs at no additional cost.)

I am not sure who was more excited to watch my dog, Melissa or the dog. She always gave him a lot of attention when pet sitting. I always trusted that she would make sure he was fed and had plenty of water, she also spent time playing with him or taking him for walks. Just what he needed when I was away!

Melissa loves animals and takes great care of them. Although I don't have a dog myself, she has cared for my cat and does a fantastic job, and I've watched her take excellent care of her own dog. She is attentive and loving. Your dog will be in very capable hands!

Melissa has always shown an understanding of what a dog needs. A good schedule, affection, exercise and proper nutrition. She goes the extra mile to make sure each pet's specific needs are met. It is hard enough on them when their beloved owner is gone. She treats them with the tender loving care that they need to handle the absence in the best way possible. She has experience with many breeds, both large and small and the unique needs a larger and/or smaller dog may have.

Information Melissa S. would like to know about your pet

I prefer big playful dogs, but I've known some Pomeranians that can easily out hike me.

A typical day

Walks around town, hikes and jogs for the dog with relentless energy, and trips to the beach to play fetch and possibly get some off leash time! And of course all beach trips will be followed up with a bath.
