Walk – It Does A Doggy Good🐶

I have a genuine love for both dogs and cats, and I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. As a German Shorthair Pointer dog & cat mom, I understand the importance of exercise, routine, and comfort—and I love getting outside for walks rain or shine. I’m responsible, reliable, and great at communicating with both pets and their people. Your pet’s safety, well-being, and happiness are always my top priorities. 🐶🐱 Services I Offer • Walks & drop-in visits • Pick-up/drop-off and transport to vet appointments, grooming, or daycare • Regular daycare or boarding arrangements (I only take my pets to the best places here in the PNW) • Personalized pet care calendar that integrates seamlessly with your schedule (can setup a google calendar the integrates with your calendar) • Extra love, playtime, and snuggles—because pets deserve the best! Whatever your needs are, just ask—I’m flexible and happy to create a plan that works for you and your pets.

Safety, trust & environment

Mel was fantastic! She went above and beyond when taking care of our two cats. Her communication was fantastic, she always gave detailed updates, and she was very respectful of our space. She was the best!

Schedule

My schedule is flexible, and I’m available for regular walks and drop-ins for clients. I can also host play dates with my dog, Duke, if your pup enjoys the company of other dogs. We’ll set up a meet and greet to make sure they’re a good fit and everyone feels comfortable.
