Safety, trust & environment

My first priority is the safety of your pet and your home. I adhere to any instructions regarding your pet and ask prior questions to ensure I have the most information to make each visit stress-free for you and your pet.

Information Melisa B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any behaviours common for your pet such as social anxiety, aggression towards other dogs or people (dog walking), separation anxiety, outdoor cats, urinating in the house, eating/chewing things that are not food, etc. These behaviours don't mean I won't take your booking!! I just need to know so I can adapt my method of care and be prepared for any situation!

A typical day

To make visits or walks as stress-free as possible, I'd love to take your pet to your usual walking trail or park and play with their own toys. I can also walk them in new areas if they like a challenge or exploring new smells! Training walks are catered to your and your dog's needs. Let's chat about goals and expectations and we can determine the best steps for reaching them :) Inquire today, new clients welcome!

Melisa was wonderful - calm, collected and a brilliant presence. Lenny felt super chilled with her, and the entire booking went off without a hitch. Would very much recommend to anyone
