Safety, trust & environment

I will make sure your animal feels safe in their house with me in it and will take the time to ensure everyone is comfortable. I know that every animal is different so not every approach will work! I always make sure we take the right steps so everyone is happy.

Information Melisa A. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there are any behavioral things I should know about your pets. As I mentioned before, I have experience with pets who are more worried about things in life, the world is a scary place after all!

A typical day

If all circumstances allow, I love taking dogs out to walk in the neighborhood to allow exercise and mental stimulation. It's important to let dogs sniff all the things (if safe of course) on our walks to allow mental enrichment as well so your dog will never feel as if we are rushed as all my focus is on the dog and their needs!

Pet care experience

Ever since I was a kid, I knew animals were my passion. I am currently a Vet/Doctors Assistant at an animal hospital and have a huge passion for all animals, big and small. I have experience with reactive dogs as I currently own one as well as other behavioral issues I might come across. I spent a long time working at the Oregon Humane Society, working with dogs with behavioral challenge and I understand how they truly feel and will make sure your baby feels safe! As a vet technician for four years, I worked at VCA Animal hospitals and gained lots of experience and in veterinary medicine that helps equip me to care for your fur babies! I am currently in school at WSU and can do overnight dog sitting in your home or mine :) keep in mind I do have one kitten that lives with me !

Melisa was very communicative and thoughtful. Making sure to follow instructions. She seemed confident providing a walk for my young, not trained yet big Shepard puppy.

Melisa was fantastic at giving us updates on our dogs while we were away, who are very anxious pups. She went above and beyond when our dogs got sick while we were away, and she even vacuumed up their loose sheding fur for us! We will definitely hire her again!

I have a 7 year old doodle, Maggie, she loves to go on walks and the dog park. Melisa is puntual and very responsible. Maggie is very energetic and needs lots of attention. The best part is that with Melisa’s background in animal care, I always feel safe and comfortable when Maggie is with her. Thank you, Melisa.
