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

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Melissa! Our dog, Bear, had an absolute blast during their stay. Melissa sent wonderful daily updates with photos, which put our minds completely at ease while we were away. They went above and beyond with extra playtime with other dogs, following our feeding/walking schedule perfectly, and giving out lots of cuddles. Bear came home happy, healthy, and well-exercised. We highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter— we’ll definitely be booking with her again! Thank you so much!

Melissa helped us out in a pinch and was absolutely amazing with our Daisy girl! Highly recommend! She has excellent communication and is clearly very well versed in pet care! We will absolutely turn to her again and trust her to care for our Daisy!🩷

Melissa was absolutely amazing with my dog. She treated him like he was one of her own and went above and beyond my expectations. She included him on all of her adventures, made sure he had plenty of playtime with other dogs, and gave him so much love and attention. Throughout the stay, Melissa sent lots of photos and thoughtful updates, which gave me complete peace of mind knowing my dog was happy and well cared for. It was clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would recommend Melissa to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!

Melissa was amazing with Todd. Our Todd is a senior dog with very limited experience being away from his family and I felt very comfortable leaving Todd in Melissa’s care. He got lots of walks, met some new fur friends and was well taken care of. I will use Melissa again for her dog sitting and dog walking services.
