Dogs are better than people

Pet care experience

I have owned dogs since I was a little girl. Most of the dogs I have owned have been big dogs that were mutts, but I have also owned small dogs as well. There is not a single dog I don't love. You will never have to worry about your dog not receiving enough love and attention while in my care. I unfortunately am unable to own a dog at this juncture in my life, but terribly miss having dogs around to love, nurture, and walk. I am an active person and love the outdoors, and would be happy to take your dog out and exercise them. I have a fairly large enough condo and live close to Vancouver Lake and the Burnt Bridge Creek Trail. I am available Monday and Tuesday's after 1pm and have an open schedule on Fridays and Saturdays.

Melissa is a caring, giving person. She loves on my own dog and others in public. She and I used to run with our dogs. She is an active person that makes sure dogs in her care get the exercise and rest that they need. She will communicate with you well about your dog's needs and fun times they have with her.

Melissa has a huge heart for the love of dogs, she is gentle, kind and loves all dogs, she bonds quickly and dogs take to her immediately, she treats all dogs like they were her own and is exstremly dependable, your Dogs will be well cared for.. I would recommend her for any dog who likes to feel loved!

Melissa has always loved dogs! She has had her own and loved and took care of them wonderfully. She is a kind and beautiful soul who treats people and animals with an incredible amount of love and respect. I trust her with my children and definitely with my animals. She is good natured, responsible and caring, which is exactly the type of person I like and trust to have around those that I love.

We have two dogs we wanted to take from Melissa several years apart from each other. We've known Melissa a long time and she is a great decision maker and caring as the day is long. The dogs that she has had in her care we're always extremely well looked after and we feel lucky that Melissa was able to connect us up with the two dogs that we now own. I would trust her with looking at after our pups or anything else of value in our home. Melissa D. is Simply the Best of people all around! So grateful for her dog caring skills!
