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 with my dog. This was the first time I had to leave with someone other than family and I was apprehensive. He also has skin issues due to food allergies. But she put me at ease instantly. And she took absolutely stellar care of my little guy. Many walks, lots of pics, very responsive through the chat. 100% would recommend!

I had the absolute pleasure of having Melissa B. look after our dog, Zoro, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Melissa is much more than just a professional dog sitter. She is genuinely passionate about what she does, and that passion shows in the incredible love, care, and attention she gives to the dogs she looks after. Zoro had an amazing time with her and was extremely well taken care of. We felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands, and judging by the photos and updates we received, I think he was even a little spoiled! 😊 I highly recommend Melissa B. to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and genuinely passionate about animals. I would absolutely work with her again, and Zoro would definitely be very happy to see her again too!

We COULD NOT be happier with Melissa. We had just moved to the area and was a little nervous about finding a new sitter for our girl and searched by highest rated to get her the best care possible. We picked the best and we definitely got it! Melissa is so kind, attentive and sent so many pictures. We are lucky to have found her and absolutely 100% will rebook. A pro!

Melissa took care of our French bulldog and was fantastic! Her warm demeanor made us feel at ease. She kept us updated with photos, showing how much fun our pup was having. Our dog came home happy and relaxed—highly recommend!

Our trip lasted 15 days, mostly in Spain, and we chose to board our two Yorkshires with Melissa after a great meet-and-greet session. The oldest dog is 14 years old, and we were looking for a quiet, non-stressful environment for their stay, with fairly strict diet control. Melissa sent daily photos (96 in total!) that reassured us that they were both happy and healthy. Melissa consistently demonstrated her professionalism and experience in dealing with our friends, and we look forward to employing her services again in the future.

Safety, trust & environment

I treat every dog like my own. Safety, patience, and close attention are always my priority so you can feel confident your pup is in good hands.🐶

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 🐾
