As a full-time college student, I have a flexible schedule that makes it easy to prioritize your pet’s care. I’m an early riser, enjoy staying active, and love spending time with animals, so walking, playing, and caring for your pet will always be a top priority in my day!

Melina took great care of my puppy Tex! He can be a bit too much sometimes but she was very patient. Made sure to let him enjoy his walks

Handled our dogs very well! One of them requires medication and is very nervous around new people but she warmed right up to her. Highly recommend! Will use in future.
