A tired dog is a happy dog :)

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Melisa and I would love to take care of your dog. I am a recent college graduate and love spending time outside. I have a bachelor's degree in animal science and over 10 years of dog handling experience. Throughout high school and college I spent time volunteering at a veterinary hospital, worked at a doggie daycare and have volunteered at rescue shelters. Additionally, I have a 3 year-old dog at home and know how important exercise and socialization is for the wellbeing of your dog. I have worked with (and owned) dogs with medical and behavioral issues. Please let me know if there are any issues I should be aware of and I can tailor my walks to fit your dog's needs. I can't wait to meet you and your dog!

We recently booked several walks with Melisa R. and we are so happy we did! Melisa is reliable, trustworthy,professional ,and considerate . She is a true dog lover and provided lots of TLC to our very energetic Jack Russell terrier mix. Melisa takes her dog walking responsibilities seriously and understands that pet parents are trusting her with their fur babies and their homes . We know our precious pup is in very capable hands with Melisa on the job ,and we look forward to having her back again soon. Thank you Melisa for taking such good care of Blaze , and for putting our minds at ease! ❤️Gail , Barry, and Blaze?

Melisa is a friendly, prompt, and responsible person whom loves dogs. She has many different types of experiences with dogs; including her own dogs. One had a degenerative disease and she did everything she could to keep him happy and healthy to the very end. Another, is a happy rambunctious adopted pup that loves to go to the park, go to agility classes and for long walks/hikes! I would trust Melisa 100% to go above and beyond of taking care of my dog.
