I live in a townhouse. There’s 4 floors and a open space kitchen. I have a set up of doggie gates to keep your pets save. They will spend their time if I happen to be away in the open space kitchen and will sleep with me in my bedroom. I also have a crate in case your pet is more comfortable sleeping there. Tons of doggie toys.

Information Melissa H. would like to know about your pet

Let me know any special care that your doggie might need. As well as food allergies/ food restrictions. Dog reactiveness while on leash and how to handle coming across another dog on the street. I love knowing the exact routine you keep with your dog as it helps me recreate it in my home to avoid anxiety.

A typical day

I like going on walks around the neighborhood and could easily accommodate up until 1h walk at a time. I live close by a dog park in West Seattle. I also live close by Lincoln park. If your doggie enjoys car rides I love to take them to other parts of Seattle to get some running done.

Pets

I like to make dogs feel at home!

Pet care experience

I have a 16 year old dog that lives in Colombia. I was part of his care for 9 years. I have taken care of friends doggies, I like to rub their bellies and pet them. I'm a good snuggle buddy for them and I like to play catch with them. I adopted a little baby rescued almost 2 years ago, he had some serious anxiety and lots of energy so I know how to deal with doggies with special needs. We love going to the dog park so he can interact and play with other doggies. He gets along super well with dogs and has made a few friends with the dogs I have taken care of.

Our dog was so loved while we were gone. Melissa sent us photos and updates and really went out of her way to make sure our anxious pup felt comfortable. She's back home and super happy. Look forward to booking with Melissa again!
