Dogs can be ruff but I can help!

Pet care experience

All my life I have had a special place in my heart for dogs. I have plenty of experience caring for dogs of all walks of life through my family and volunteering at local animal shelters! I've had older dogs, young pups, special needs rescues you name it! It's just all about understanding the love and care each individual dog may need and sticking to a routine! I am a very dependable person that follows directions well. I love to trail run, hike, and netflix binge, so if your dog is high energy or low energy I can adapt to them! I am currently a graduate student with lots of flexibility! Feel free to message me and we can figure out a plan and schedule that will work best for your dog!

Melissa is a highly responsible, caring, and all around wonderful person. She would provide a safe and loving space for any pet in need of care. Would trust her with my pets (who are family!) any day!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a quiet neighborhood with lots of friendly dogs and walking trails that help with socialization and creating a sense of comfort. Long walks always seem to help an anxious puppy!

Information Melissa B. would like to know about your pet

A heads up on any behavioral issues to look out for is greatly appreciated, such as fearful of kids, food aggression, etc. Dogs are already stressed when their family is away I just want to know enough about what they enjoy and what they fear so I can make it as enjoyable of a visit as I can! Also I love all shapes and sizes :) the goofier the better!

A typical day

I love to get outside any chance I get! I can do anything from short walks around the neighborhood to a fun day hike to just playing some fetch in the backyard! I also have a passion for trail running and am always looking for a running buddy! But hey, if you're pup is just in the mood to snuggle on the couch and take a snooze I certainly wouldn't mind a snooze myself!
