Safety, trust & environment

I have a 6ft fenced yard. I have the ability to separate my yard into 6 different areas at nearly half an acre. I have multiple kennels and some with tops and grooming and bathing equipment. In home day care is heavily screened. Your dog will not have access to the inside of my home, kids, or my pets. Large outdoor area and garage kennels will be fully accessible. Kennels are cleaned with vet rescue which kills parvo. Fresh water in kennels and outside. All are properly sanitized. Health and safety is top priority for everyone. Puppies not fully vaccinated will be in a separate area. Walks, my children will be attending if dogs are child friendly.

Alpha loves her walks with Melissa who walks much faster than me. ☺️ I’m enjoying the whole idea of having a dog walker available when I’m too busy and highly recommend Melissa. I plan to set up more walks in the future.

Alpha, my Husky, is such a lucky dog to be able to go on walks with Melissa. I’m wanting Alpha to be a little calmer on a leash, and Melissa is wonderful at handling her.

Alpha and I are very happy with Melissa. She works so well with my Husky that I scheduled another 4 walking sessions.

Melissa is a great animal host. She has watched my dogs many times both at my home and at her house. She is very professional and has great knowledge on animal care. Would definitely recommend Melissa to all my family and friends as a safe animal care taker.
