I understand the importance of consistency, so first I learn about your pet's routine. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, thus allowing me to adapt to your pet's schedule and maintain consistency throughout the time they are in my care.

Information Melissa C. would like to know about your pet
I require a meet-and-greet as well as a pet information form. The meet-and-greet is a great way for clients and pups to meet me and my kids, and for me to get an idea of our the pup's temperament, habits, etc. The pet information form is for me to have their routine on file. I try to keep their schedule as similar as possible since dogs thrive on routine, and this way they don't feel as if their life has changed too much.
A typical day
Our neighborhood has a mile-long path, including a loop around a lake. It's great to take pups on long walks around the neighborhood! Usually we do 2-3 long walks (20-30min each) per day. More or less depending on our client's needs. Your pup will have lots of exercise!

Pet care experience
When it comes to dogs, I speak their language! #iHeartMuttz When your dogs are under my care, they will be treated as if they were mine. I will care for them just like you would and will keep you up to date frequently to keep your mind at ease. You'll be able to enjoy your time away knowing they are in the best care. About Me: I'm a huge animal lover, though my love for dogs has always been the strongest. I've always wanted to be a dog behaviorist and trainer, and have read up on what's best for dogs and their mental/physical health. The goal for my doggie clients is to have them feel at home. I have worked at Doggie Day-Care facilities, was a volunteer dog-walker at my local shelter, and cared for many dogs throughout the years. Growing up around dogs of all sizes makes me comfortable not only with any size, but with any number of them. I believe that what is best for them is consistency, rules and boundaries, sufficient mental AND physical exercise, and of course lots of love. I am very active and walk in any type of weather - accommodating for each dog's needs. Does your dog need a run? No problem. A leisurely walk sound better? Sounds good to me. A romp in the yard? Let's play! I work from home and am able to care for your pup literally most of the day. Pet Care: When you place your dogs' care in my hands, rest assured that they will be happy and safe. I follow their routine as closely as possible, give them plenty of exercise, and adapt to any special needs they may have. Whether at the comfort of your own home, or at my home - where there are lots of green areas and a 1.5-mile path throughout the community - they will have a wonderful time. You will receive multiple daily updates and photos of your furry one. I require a meet-and-greet to discuss your and your pet's needs. Please note that if they stay with me, they will need to be okay with young kids. If this sounds like the right fit for your dog, reach out to me! I'd love to meet with you and your furry one!
Reviews
Melissa was wonderful!! She was so communicative, sending lots of pictures and updates about our pups. She took them on lots of walks and spoiled them! When we picked them up, we forgot to grab their bag of medicine. We didn’t realize till she showed up at our door about 30 minutes later with them!!!! If you need someone to go above and beyond for your pup, definitely book Melissa. Can’t say enough kind things!
We were so happy to know our pup Milan was well taken care of! Melissa was terrific and we enjoyed all the daily pics and updates!!!
Melissa did a great job watching the pups, I felt very comfortable and the dogs got plenty of attention and exercise. She was on time and reliable. I especially liked the text messages and pictures with each visit to show me how they were and that everything was fine. I will definitely use her again.
