Reliable Responsible Fur Baby Care!

Pet care experience

Hello! I grew up in a household full of pet love! Dogs, cats, ferrets and fish! I spent my tweens riding horses and working on a horse farm. I love animals and enjoy spending my time with them. Some of my past experiences include, Pit Bull Terrier, German Shepard mix, Basenji, Husky, Poodle, and Springer Spaniel, and so many puppies! I have experience with overnight dog care and I am an experienced walker. I'm honest, compassionate, reliable, professional and straight forward in my communications. This ensures a safe and comfortable environment for your pet and open relationship with the pet's parent. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. I look forward to meeting and getting to know new dogs and pet-parents in my neighborhood!

My favorite dog walker I’ve ever had! Very prompt and quick to reply, so easy to work with. She also sends pictures of the dog during the walk and a message once the walk has finished to share how the walk went

Melissa did a great job of watching my two kitties, Mu and Tau. She is very easy to communicate with, sent lots of pictures, and made me feel very comfortable leaving them with her and her other pets. Thanks Melissa!!

Melissa continues to be a reliable petsitter for my Minnie when I travel for work. It’s so nice to know my dog is having a blast while I’m away. Do not hesitate in booking Melissa!
