Pet care experience

Katy Trail walker

Hi there! I live by the Katy Trail and love walking and boarding dogs. So if you live close by I can walk your fur baby during lunch hours or any other needed times. I will walk, feed and provide medications if needed under your strict’s guidelines. Play games to keep them entertained. I will keep you informed sending your updates and pictures of your doggy. For more info, hit me up!

Seriously the best! I cannot recommend Melissa enough to anyone who wants their dogs to have the best staycation they can possibly have. It is SUCH a peace of mind when travelling to know that our dog is in Melissa's care. I swear most times our pup has more fun there than at our house. Do yourselves a favor and give your dog the best possible staycation with Melissa

Melissa was amazing! We definitely hit her up again. Daily pics and convo to checkin. We even did a meet and greet to get my pup comfortable.

Melissa is so good with our girl! She sends daily updates and pictures of her playing with the other dogs in the complex and makes sure we know that she’s being loved on and cared for. Melissa is our go to sitter, and we would definitely recommend her to anyone needing a responsible, loving sitter for their little ones!

Melissa did a fabulous job watching our frenchie zeke. She was very flexible and kept us updated all weekend long. We have already booked another weekend with her!

Melissa took great care of our sweet pup! I was sad to leave our dog but Melissa reassured me it would be okay and she was absolutely right. We appreciated the text updates, pics of Lido on walks at Katy Trail, and got a happy pup when we returned. I’d book with Melissa again!

I live in a building close to the Katy Trail, we have our own dog park and Paw Spa as well. My apartment is spacious and a safe space.

A typical day

I adapt to the dog’s character if they are easy going, mellow or more active. I’m usually an active person and I love walking around and be in constant movement.
