Caring and Experienced Animal-Lover

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Melissa and I am an experienced dog walker/sitter. I’ve raised three dogs of my own and have had many other pets throughout my life (fish, hamsters, a bunny, you name it!) Being a fitness instructor, I am very active and love playtime and going for long walks. I have experience with dog training and am happy to work with your pet’s specific needs, whether that be following commands, working on leash skills, etc. I am a big believer in positive reinforcement (ex. a treat after potty-time, verbal praise when a command is taken). I promise to take excellent care of your pets/home! Please let me know if you have any questions for me.

Melissa was awesome! Bean is a scared little chi, but Melissa made her feel right at home and loved. Lots of pictures were sent, too. I highly recommend Melissa!

Melissa is friendly and responsive. She was patient and sweet with our dog who was nervous to be away from us. Highly recommend.

Information Melissa G. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any triggers, aggression or bad habits I should know about (eating things on the ground, trying to run out the front door, etc.) it’s also helpful to know if your pup has any allergies or if there are toys that should be avoided (because of choking hazards).

A typical day

I love going on long walks around the neighborhood and to the big park about a mile away. There is also a small and big dog run there if your pup needs some social time.
