Availability

I am currently not working any other job so I have plenty of time to walk dogs or go feed them and check in on them. The House Sitting Rate per day includes me coming to your house once in the morning and once in the evening to feed & refill the dog's water, and take them on a 30 minute walk each visit, unless the dog is older or smaller and does not need to be walked as long. If special accommodations are needed or more visits/potty breaks/walks than just two, please notify me when booking so we can discuss pricing for additional walks or check-ins.

Information Melissa B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog likes to pull on the leash for walks or is rambunctious towards other dogs. I will be diligent when walking all dogs. I can give oral medications if needed. Please always communicate where I can park to access your home/pet. Let me know where I can find all supplies for your pet such as food, collar, leash, and what your expectations are for walks. Thank you so much! ?

A typical day

I would like to keep it simple; I would walk around the neighborhood or find somewhere shady if it happens to be a hot day.

I have taken care of my dog for over 12 years. That includes long walks & short walks. Taking him to the groomer for bath, and to the vet when needed. I have Doggie sit for close friends' doggies as well.
