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 was amazing taking care of my pup, Joe! It was his first time with a sitter and she sent tons of updates & made sure he felt cared for. Even when he had an accident, she was kind and compassionate with both us and him! Thank you so much ❣️

Bronx just got home from a 3 day stay with Melissa and boy oh boy did he have the best time! Melissa really did an incredible job treating Bronx like he was her own. He got all the love, attention, affection and walks he could possibly want and more. Melissa did a great job keep me updated with photos of Bronx and he literally was smiling in every picture. We will absolutely be leaning on Melissa again whenever we are in need for a sitter for Bronx! Thanks, Melissa!!
