I’m a Calm, confident pack leader

I have been working with dogs for 10 years professionally. I have been trained by Cesar Millan on Dog psychology, dog training and how to walk dogs properly. I am reliable, can handle any size dog and dogs with behavioral issues. I am available to book one dog walking client a day and 4 check in visits a day, Monday through Friday. During summer months, walks must be performed in the morning before it’s too hot for the dogs paws on the pavement, I typically book walks between the times of 9 and 11:30. Check in visits can be anytime during the day up until 4pm

Safety, trust & environment

I always make it a top priority to leave your home in the same condition I found it. Making sure all doors are locked when I leave and bringing in any packages that may be there as well. The dogs get play time, potty time and doggie massages while I’m there. I also will give them fresh food and water as per your instructions. Dog Walks are 30 minutes typically traveling 1 to 1.5 miles per walk depending on the size and fitness level of the dog.

Melissa is wonderful! She made us feel so at ease leaving our dog and she did such an amazing job with him. He is very nervous around new people, but she is so good with dogs and reading their body language!

Wonderfully kind and caring. Made the process so very easy, which allowed us to visit family with complete comfort and confidence that our old lady was in the best of hands. Thank you, Melissa!

Melissa is hands down one of the best Rovers we’ve ever had for our two pups. She’s very caring, spends plenty of time playing with each of them, leaves our house untouched and send the best pictures!

Melissa was fantastic with Beau. She really helped him calm down and wear off some energy during his mid-day break with her. At just 5 months he has a lot to learn and she was a huge help. Loved all the videos and photos! Thanks Melissa!!

Melissa has been wonderful with our dog Opal! I felt comfortable right away, and opal really loves her. I can’t say enough how much the extra walk everyday helps with destructive behavior!!

Schedule

I’m available to do drop in visits Monday through Friday. I offer 30 minute and hour long visits. Great for working parents that need a potty break for their dogs and backyard exercise. Also great for low maintenance dogs, when parents leave town that need me to pop in a couple of times, during the day for feeding, exercise and potty breaks.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Melissa can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
I can handle giant breeds and dogs with behavioral issues. Please let me know if your dog has any special needs. Also, if they need to be fed and instructions for your home.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
