Responsible Caring Dog Lover

Pet care experience

Hello! I am an animal lover with a perfect dog named Ferris. He is a testament to how much I enjoy dogs and understand the delicate balance of caring for a dog. We go on daily runs and walks, and often explore the natural areas where he can run. I am available to care for your dog when your away. I do a daily 2 mile run which bigger/ youthful dogs love to release energy, and I'd be open to overnight pet sitting jobs.

Melissa was terrific. Very pleasant person, prompt, communicative, responsive. Exercised Juno, kept me posted via text and pics. Juno was taken with her immediately. Will definitely ask her to sit again!

Melissa is conscientious and kind and punctual and thorough. She clearly loves cats. She came on time, fed and cared for my kitty, and sent me pix. She is also very responsive to texts. I can leave my kitty with no worries about her care. Thank you, Melissa!!

Safety, trust & environment

I have handled/ cared for all types, from tiny pets to wild puppies. I prefer a dog who has basic ettiquite ( doesn't jump too aggresively ) but I am pretty trained at discipline. I tend to not desire Pitbulls or BUlldogs, just out of previous experience. I have lots of experience with older/ geriatric dogs and their special needs, and puppy training!

Information Melissa F. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know your training/ household policies. What your dog is used to. How the dog handles other dogs in public. If you allow treats etc

A typical day

I love long walks and will bring a youthful dog long on my daily run. I am into training and working on doggy descipline. I am experienced at the older dogs too, including doggy daipers and all of it.
