Ratings and reviews
Melissa watched our pups in our home for 10 days in our home. She took great care of them and was very communicative. We will definitely use her services in the future!


Melissa is very calm and nurturing with my dogs and does a great job taking care of them
Ruby LOVES Melissa and had so much fun on their walk! She was doggy-smiling the rest of the day, and was just resting and calm. You can tell it was great exercise with lots of mental stimulation as well! I’ll be booking again very soon!
Melissa was absolutely wonderful and kept me up to date with pictures and videos. Thanks, Melissa!

I give Melissa my highest endorsement as a pet-sitter, dog walker, or animal caretaker of any kind. She has the biggest heart for animals that I have ever seen. She takes amazing care of her own pets and takes the job of making sure that they have what they need extremely seriously. Melissa is especially a dog walking enthusiast and believes it is our duty to them to help get them out and active. She knows how to handle dogs of basically any personality and can plan walks around what they need and will most enjoy. I know she doesn't currently offer training, but for what it's worth, she has done quite a bit of private and group dog training - so, she is definitely well-versed in training and thus really understands a dog's needs and behaviors. Again, I cannot recommend Melissa enough to anyone who has a dog that needs watching or walking. Book her now if you can, I know you won't regret it.
Thanks for going above and beyond, Melissa. It's obvious that you're a dog-person!
