Weekday Walker! (Good w/large dogs)

Pet care experience

Our family has decided to wait on owning our own dog, but as a HUGE dog lover, stay at home mom, and avid trail walker, I thought neighbors could use my services to get their pups outside & stay active! As far as experience goes, I rescued a pit mix last year and received an intensive 9 month education about various behavioral issues. I worked with several trainers, but although we made tons of progress, her reactivity to kids lead us to finding a more suitable home. It was the hardest thing ever, but she seems very happy with her new big sister “Poppy” and her adult-only home. And now I’m free to walk your doggy!

Melanie was very helpful watching our dogs! She made sure our fur babies were well taken care of on our wedding weekend away. Melanie provided photos as well as text with updates throughout her stay.

Melanie is a warm and compassionate person and a great lover of animals. She's a mom and a homeowner so super reliable and responsible, plus a born caretaker. Added plus: she loves to hike in the canyons and open space near her house, so your pup could be in for a great walk!

Please let me know where your pet is at, as far as training goes & what their personality is like. I understand that every pet needs to be approached differently.

A typical day

I can take pups on neighborhood walks, on the trails or even to Fiesta Island. I've done it all with our foster dog and understand how to navigate all the various situations that arise.

I’m a stay at home mom, so I’m mainly available for weekday walks and visits, but can fit pups in on the weekend too. I'd love to take your pup on the trails or just pop by for neighborhood walks and lovin'
