A tired dog is a good dog!

Pet care experience

I love dogs! I've had dogs for the past 13 years and they bring such joy! In busy times, our dogs don't get the exercise they need and deserve, so let me walk your pup to get them some extra exercise! They'll love it, and you will, too! I can handle any size dog, and have the patience to help dogs who don't walk nicely to help them learn to walk better. I am caring and loving, but I will ensure I'm in charge while walking your dog. Want your dog to have more socialization? Depending on the client and dog, you may be able to have your dog join a pack walk. We can discuss that after we've established a working relationship. We can also discuss training needs after establishing a relationship. I'm working toward my certification and would love to chat! I'm confident, mature, and responsible, and your pup will be in good hands with me!

Mel was a fantastic dog sitter and we look forward to working with her again in the future! Comet, Wink and Maddie and we appreciated her care, concern and compassion over a weekend full of pouring rain. She made sure that they were able to go out, were fed and well cared for. We appreciated her updates and the pictures of how they were doing. Thank you Mel we look forward to having you take care of our pups in the future again!!
