A typical day

If your dog wants a walk….chances are I do too! I love taking dogs out for walks and making it the highlight of their day. We’ll explore different routes, let them sniff around, and make sure they get plenty of exercise and fresh air. I always walk at your dog’s pace—whether they love long energetic walks or slower sniff-and-stroll adventures. My goal is to make every walk fun, safe, and something your dog looks forward to 🐾

Pet care experience

I have had & loved dogs since I was 6 years old. I grew up with Boston Terriers & now frequently visit my sister’s Boston. I have been walking my neighbors dog for her while she is in the office 3 times a week for the past 4 years. I love getting my steps in daily and love getting the doggos their steps as well! Whether it’s a walk by the lake or through your neighborhood, I love to care & walk all size dogs 🐕‍🦺🦮🐕🐩 If you think I’d make a good match for your fur child, shoot me a message & let’s get walking 😉 ** pack walks available

Melissa provided excellent service to our sweet Bowie!! She really went above to make sure our dogs needs were met and left making sure the pup was cozy and safe. Really enjoyed all the nice photos she shared, it definitely provided a lot of reassurance while we were away from home. Will definitely be recommending her to others and booking her service again!

Melissa has been so great, she is attentive, kind and flexible! Our anxious pup warmed up to her immediately which gave us so much comfort. We have already set up recurring visits!
