Safety, trust & environment

I know how important your pets are and I strive to keep their safety and happiness at the top of my priority list. I can check in on your pets during the day to give them a quick potty break, or I can give them a nice walk to get some energy out.

No dog too big or small!

Pet care experience

Having owned many dogs over many years, from a dachshund to a large lab mix, I am comfortable with all ages and sizes. Most recently I owned a Shetland sheepdog/beagle mix that unfortunately passed away from cancer at the age of 13. I can’t get a new dog quite yet, but I am ready to be your dog’s new best friend! I have worked with professional trainers to learn how to teach basic leash skills and good manners, so I am happy to work with your dog if they need some extra practice. 🙂

Melissa took care of my dog Poppy for several days. Prior to leaving her with Melissa I felt helpless as a dog owner. I struggled when taking Poppy on walks and was often exasperated by her behavior in the house (mostly jumping). When I got Poppy back from Melissa, she was like a different dog. She was much calmer and more focused. Melissa showed me how she had been working with Poppy on walks and in high-stress areas like the front door. I used to have to use every ounce of strength I had when taking Poppy on a walk, but after Melissa worked with her, she would walk with almost no pulling and was receptive to commands. For the first time, I am enjoying my dog and I am so grateful for Melissa. I could tell she put so much love into Poppy and genuinely enjoyed their time together.
