Patient & Kind Dog Lover!!!

Pet care experience

I've taken care of family, friends, and neighbors dogs since I was young. I place an emphasis on exercise, training, and quality time. I am extremely patient with animals, as I believe dogs really do want to please, despite sometimes difficult temperaments. I believe an ideal dog day would begin with morning exercise, a long walk or run. Then a training session, to reemphasize known commands or learn new ones. Through out the day, multiple walks will allow the pupper to get plenty of fresh air and sunshine. By afternoon, more exercise will be needed. One-on-one play, such as fetch, provides both quality time and exercise. The dog park also offers exercise, as well as, socialization. In the evening I often groom, in order to spend more quality time with our furry friend, while also maintaining the cleanliness of the house. Finally, I like to go on one last walk before putting the doggo to bed. I am self employed & therefore have an open and flexible schedule. I would love to provide any or all of these services to help you & your pet lead a happier life

Our dog Lucy came home happy and well taken care of. Melissa took good care of Lucy like she was one of her own. She sent us a picture and an update every day. I definitely recommend Mellisa.

Melissa did a wonderful job with my standard poodle, Brady. She was really good about exercising him and sending me photos and updates throughout the day. Brady really seemed to enjoy his time with Melissa and came back home very relaxed and happy.

Booked W Melissa a few days before my trip. She was very helpful walking a first time rover user thru the ropes. When we arrived, we introduced Prince to her sweet dogs. They played well together in the back yard. She sent me pictures and a small sniper of the days adventure. She took him on long walks. I got him back stress free and super happy. She is a superstar doggy sitter and I will absolutly use her again!

Melissa was great! She was super easy to communicate with and so flexible with a last minute booking and day’s extension. Recommended!
