The dog whisperer

Pet care experience

Hi I’m Melissa and I adore animals! I have a 3 year old mini Aussiedoodle that keeps me very busy. I have been walking and pet sitting for a few years now. I have a great dog park I love taking dogs to and also enjoy running with them. I work from home so my flexibility allows me to spend a lot of quality time with your baby! I am open to all size, age and breeds. Currently I have a few regular fur babies that I walk weekly. So I’m open to sitting, walking and/or hosting your dog in my home. I have a very open space with a yard and a lot of places to take your baby.

The week of Pearl’s stay at Melissa’s was a hard one filled with vet visits and a new diet, but I was comforted to know that Pearl was in good hands!! She came home so happy. I’m thankful for the special care and updates! Thanks!!

Melissa is my go to Rover! I trust her to take good care of my dog. Melissa is very flexible and understanding with drop off and pick up times. She’s offered to pick up or drop off my dog if I needed the help due to conflicting schedules and she has also kept my dog for an extra night because my flight was delayed on my way home. I would recommend Melissa to all of my friends if they needed help with their pets! Melissa also sends me daily pictures and messages to keep me updated on what my dog was up to that day.

I have watched all breeds and ages of dogs and am well prepared for any dog that has special needs. Please just let me know how I can make your baby feel special.

I will take your pup on a walk and maybe to the dog park. Also, we love to play fetch in the yard. I have a lot of toys and soft beds that the dogs love to play with.

I work remotely so I’m home most of the day. I may be out for an appointment briefly but that’s it. My own dog is a COVID dog so she is also used to me being home with her all day :)
