Safety, trust & environment

My dobe girl has a very consistent schedule which includes lots of fetch, obedience reinforcement, and cuddles. As a dedicated pet parent myself, I know how important it is for our fur babies to get their exercise, mental stimulation and of course pets.

Information Melissa C. would like to know about your pet

Is there anything I should avoid when walking your baby (bikes, kids, etc)? Does your baby have a favorite place to walk? What commands is your baby familiar with? Does your baby have any food allergies?

A typical day

Leisurely walk that’s not rushed, unless they prefer a light jog then that’s ok with me. I like to let them sniff so they get that mental stimulation. Practice obedience (sit, down, shake), treats if it’s ok with you. Of course lots of cuddles and pets.

Walking & sitting at your paw-tips!

Pet care experience

I’m what you’d call an “obsessive dog mom.” I plan my life around my 3 year old doberman pinscher Sasha. She even has her own Instagram page if you’d like to see how obsessed I am with her (sasha_dobe). I treat my dog like my child, and your fur baby would be treated exactly the same.

Melissa and Co. was such an amazing pick for my pets and I! I am so happy that I ended up finding her, she was so attentive to the needs of my babies and went above and beyond my expectations. The photos were such a joy to have while away, I actually want to frame some of them! I really hope they are able to be regulars for my pets, because I couldn't ask for better sitters.
