Paw-ty in Oakland

Pet care experience

*As of April 15, 2017, we will be relocating to Oakland. We won't be taking any Rovers until we've settled in. Thanks for your consideration!* I've always grown up with dogs around me. From Southern California to Canada, my family always had 1 or 2 family dogs. My last dog, Chiquito, had been with me and my family for 15 years an basically grew up with me through my teens and early 20's. Today, our family dogs include 2 chihuahuas and a toy jack russell terrier. I am known as Auntie Mel to many of my friends' canine loves. Having lived in SF for almost 5 years, I've been dog-walking and volunteering at SPCA SF for 5 years too! We now reside in Oakland where both my husband and I are caring, compassionate, and empathetic dog-lovers. I am the stern one, my husband is the fun one ;)

Melissa was so great and super accommodating with drop off/pick up times. Her positive energy made it easier to leave our frenchie for a long weekend as we knew she'd be in great hands. I would definitely use Melissa again!

Melissa was awesome! She watched my dog, Ezra, for a weekend and was extremely welcoming and communicative. She has a big apartment with a lot of room for

I live blocks away from some amazing parks. We'd go check out Dolores Park, Precita Park, Bernal Heights and more! I have an ample supply of tennis balls and love playing catch. We could even learn some simple commands together (learned from SPCA SF) or go for a run!
