Looking for a walking buddy!

Pet care experience

Hello, I am a college student looking for a side job that includes some dog love! Everyday I walk long walks and thought it would be really nice to have a dog along side with me. Growing up, a always cared for the neighbors dogs whether that be long walks or over night care. Our family dog was a toy poodle named Andy who I loved dearly. I have also cared for other dogs through different care sites. I have experience with many different breeds, large or small. I also had chickens at my family house so I have a huge love for birds.I just adopted a baby dove who is my baby.

Melissa watched over our doggie at her home over graduation weekend. She’s a pleasure to work with - and my corgi who generally doesn’t like to be separated from her humans clearly warmed to her.

Melissa did a great job watching my kitty Nipsey. She dropped by daily and kept me informed the entire time I was away. She was willing to go above and beyond if need be and she always made sure to send a photo. She was trusting and treated my kitty with love and respect.

I am close to the centennial trail and the dog park at kendal yards. I also love spending my weekends driving to different walking trails that I would love to bring a dog with if that were ever something you were interested in.

Information Melissa D. would like to know about your pet

It’s been helpful to know if dogs are okay being around other dogs or if needed to keep distance. It has also been very important to know if an animal needs more time warming up to new people.

A typical day

I really love taking dogs out for a nice long walk. It’s also important to show them lots of love and affection and just sit with them as well.
