Fenced in yard near Marine Park

Pet care experience

I have loved dogs since I was little but I thought getting my own was out of the question. After doing a lot of research and planning, I recently accomplished my lifelong dream of owning a dog. I drove two hours to a rescue in Pennsylvania to adopt my wonderful chocolate lab Yogi. He is a 95 lb bundle of affection and intelligence, and he is perpetually hungry. I am prepared to spoil your pets just like I spoil my Yogi. Yogi gets a minimum of two daily half hour walks in Marine Park, which is two blocks from our house. He also gets at least 15 minutes of informal play time. We only feed him premium food and he gets to sleep on my bed every night. I am also a reliable local dog walker, including stubborn senior dogs.

Melissa is a dog lover to the extreme. She will stop anything she's doing if a dog passed by. She has virtually jumped out of a moving car when to pet a dog passing by. She is responsible and hardworking and will treat anyone's pet dog like a beloved child.

Melissa absolutely loves dogs. She pets nearly every dog she sees and loves playing with and interacting with dogs. She would be a great dog walker because she is a passionate animal lover and loves taking care of dogs.

She loves dogs more than most dog owners I've met. That alone would drive her in the dog walking business as she is legitimately excited every time she gets to meet/play with/take care of dogs. She is consistent and reliable. I am a graduate student and am often away for several days at a time, and she is always able and willing to look after my dog, Max, for me when I've needed it, and i have never felt anything other than fully confident in her ability to ensure my dog's needs were met. The last time she looked after him, he seemed to prefer to stay with her than to come back home with me!
