Life long animal lover, dog owner
Pet care experience
I am a life long animal lover, and own a super friendly lab mix. I was a manager for a dog walking company and also dog walker for 5 years in Hoboken, and have experience with the smallest of dogs to the biggest of dogs. Living in Hoboken, I have access to many parks and I never get tired of long walks. I work from home Mon, Wed, Thurs & Friday, and welcome more furry friends for the company. I can do overnights Wed - Monday night and can send pics and updates throughout the day. I will make sure your pup has a fun day, but if just lounging is more their style, we can do that too! I have incredible attention to detail, so if there is something that has to be done special, you can rest assured it will be done. Please know that the safety and health of your dog is my number one priority when they are in my care. I can provide references and will always be a FaceTime away whenever you want to see your pup.
Reviews
Thanks so much for taking care of our boy! He came home super happy and tired… which is always a good thing!
I highly recommend Melissa! Ruby always has the best time with her & Benny
Melissa took such great care of Fonzie! He and Benny were fast friends and I loved getting pics of the two of them cuddling! Will definitely use Melissa again in the future!
Melissa was great! She sent me pictures and assured me Ruby was doing well allowing me to relax while on vacation. I definitely recommend Melissa and will use her when I leave town again!

I live in a one bedroom apt with a huge backyard that the dogs are always allowed to use. My apt looks into the backyard, so I’m always watching them. *please let me know if you pup is known to go to the bathroom inside when nervous or just in a new place. I will need you to provide a crate if so for nighttime use and anytime I step out.
Home
Information Melissa I. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs before a booking. I can administer oral medicines if needed. I would also need to know if your dog is toy or food aggressive on our first talk. I never feed any dogs in the same space at the same time, but my dog likes to play with other dogs and their toys and for the safety of both pups I cannot board toy aggressive dogs. Also, as stated above, please let me know if you pup is known to go to the bathroom inside when nervous or just in a new place. I will need you to provide a crate if so for nighttime use and anytime I step out.
A typical day
Working from home, I love to take breaks and play with the dogs, it helps us both mentally! I’m big on positive reinforcement with treats when they do something good or that they should be doing.
Services
Melissa can host
Availability
Bathroom breaks and walks about every 3 or 4 hours unless specified and of course I will take them out if I see they are asking.
