Caring lover of dogs and adventure!

Pet care experience

Looking for an experienced, high energy, caring, and loving person to care for your best furry friend? Look no further! I have been a dog owner since age 8 and an animal caregiver for the past 15 years. I will always go above and beyond to make sure that your animal receives the best care possible, and that you, as an owner, know that my ultimate goal is to see your animal as happy as ever. I have experience caring for all kinds of dogs, even those with special medical needs/concerns. I will always take full responsibility to provide for, walk, feed, love, and fulfill any other requirements necessary to meet both owner and animal expectations. No water bowl will ever be left empty, treats will always be provided for good behavior, and attention 24/7 can always be guaranteed. I am an active person from the Pacific Northwest who loves the outdoors, and am the perfect person to keep up with running or walking your dog! I am quick at responding to messages if you should have any questions while your animal is in my care. Or if you want to see photos or videos, I would be more than happy to update you on our time together. Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions.

I know Melissa is very loving a caring towards her very small chihuahua Emmy at home. I have full confidence in her ability to give the best care to any pup and communicate with the pup parents to make sure everyone gets the most out of the experience with her.

Information Melissa H. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know what your dogs normal schedule is so I can try to make your pet feel at home. I also would love to know what is the most important to you so I can provide the best care.

A typical day

I love to stimulate the dogs physically and mentally through walks, games, and training. Outdoor connection with pets is important and will be as active with them as possible while also maintaining a sense of normalcy by following their typical routine.
