UES White Shepherd Dog Mom

Pet care experience

In addition to dog sitting for friends and neighbors throughout my life, I have also raised my own White Swiss Shepherd since she was a puppy. Now 5 years old, she is incredibly sweet and well-trained, and I take pride in the care and training that I have provided her. I believe that there's no better experience than raising your own dog and having her around me still gives me a unique perspective on the responsibilities and joys of pet ownership every day.

Melissa took great care of my German Shepherd Leo! He’s my whole world and I felt like he was in good hands. She followed my instructions and he seemed to enjoy his time with her!

My 10 month old puppy had truly the best day ever with Melissa and Emma! They went to Randall’s Island and the park. Melissa let him get in much needed exercise and fun. We loved all the many updates, photos, and videos. Melissa is a wonderful communicator and caring pet sitter. She worked around our ever-changing schedule and was flexible in timing. Will definitely be booking again in the future! Thank you so much!

Melissa was the best! She was able to take my dog for a walk when I was out all day. She’s super professional, super responsive, and did great with my dog. Highly recommend!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a fairly large one-bedroom apartment with two separate rooms. In the mornings/afternoons, I typically take my dog to Central Park, the East River Esplanade, or Carl Schurz Park. I can accommodate leashed walks or off-leash playtime in the park or one of the nearby dog runs, either with my dog or separately depending on your dog's needs.
