Safety, trust & environment

I provide fun walks with lots of sniffing to stimulate the mind. I do not interact with other dogs that we may see on walks. I simply cross the street or turn around for safety reasons.

Information Melissa F. would like to know about your pet

For new clients, a meet and greet is required free of charge so that I can get familiar with you, your pets and your home. You can let me know your pets routine, energy level, and if they require special care.

A typical day

I love to take dogs on walks around the lake or a nice hiking trail depending on your pups energy. I like to do lots of training activities so the dog's get a chance to exercise their minds as well as their bodies. The dogs also seem to enjoy a nice game of fetch. The activities all really depend on the dog and their energy.

Pet care experience

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to get to know a little bit about me. I would love to be your trusted pet sitter and help with any pet services you may need. Please contact me at Meli’s Pawfect Petsitting! This profile is only up to find new clients. You will find my availability and services on my website. I have worked with cats & dogs of all ages from 6 weeks to 18 years old. I spent a couple of years at a dog daycare where I provided basic grooming services and supervised my own yard of 10+ dogs, while ensuring I had a safe and clean environment for them to play in. Prior to that, I worked at a cat daycare where I provided basic grooming services and cleaned kennels/playrooms for the cats to enjoy. I wanted to work a little more closely with each individual pet which is why I decided to start pet sitting and dog walking back in 2021. After a long day of hanging out with your pets, I come home to my own fur babies, Bella (Chiweenie), Persy (Pitbull), and Astro (Tuxedo Cat). They are definitely an odd bunch, but they are the best of friends!

Olive is a sensitive dog who can be shy with strangers and reactive to dogs and noises. Melissa worked with me to pick a low stress route for Olive. The walk went really well and Olive came home relaxed and happy
