Pet care experience
Enjoys long walks in the dog park
I have been the happy sibling to Marley, a precious pug who lived to be 19 years of age. His hibernation-like lifestyle may have contributed to his long, happy life, but I think my care was definitely a factor too. During the pandemic, I finally got a copilot of my own. Earl Grey is a small chi-weenie rescue who has been such a light in my life. Dogs really bring me such joy and I would love to offer care to pups in my free time. I am a respectful, responsible, and hard-working individual. I have been pet-sitting for my friends and family for years, and would be more than happy to continue this work. I am very comfortable with all dogs. I'm also familiar with several training strategies so will not disrupt your dog's training. I do warn you though I may try to teach them to high five. 🙃 I’m currently working park time while I prepare for my phD studies next year. I’ll have plenty of time to walk and play with your pups. While my current housing does not permit me to do boarding. I’m happy to commute to a client’s home to take care of their pet. I do take my dog to dog parks for socializing quite often and gladly offer this for all pup owners too.

Ratings and reviews
M was terrific and my dog loved her ! She was responsible and I knew my dog was in excellent hands !
M is incredible! Personable, attentive to details, communicative but most importantly very loving with our furry family members. M managed medical needs, early wake-up’s to accommodate old dog schedules and overall was wonderful in every way!
Melisa is a very responsible and caring person, and I have trusted her to take care of my own pets. She has great common sense, so she would never put an animal in a situation where s/he might be hurt or get frightened and do something that might cause a person to be hurt. Melisa takes her professional and personal responsibilities very seriously, so if she makes a commitment to you she will honor it. Melisa loves animals and will treat your animal with great care. She has so much energy and such a friendly personality that I am sure your four-legged family member will love her.
Melisa is one of the most caring people I've met and has a natural bond with animals. Melisa is one of the very few people in this world I would trust with my pets. Choose Melisa!

A typical day
Each dog is a bit different but I love to take my dog to the Wissahickon trail or to the Twinning dog park. For dogs who prefer solo walks or local adventures, I enjoy letting them determine the route, following where they are inclined to turn always leads to a happy, curious and fulfilled pup.
