Ready to have walking adventures

Pet care experience

Hello! I'm currently a full time student and very flexible leaving plenty of time for me to care for your dog. I have a very calm and easy going nature and have no problems handling very active dogs in difficult situations. I grew up having two Siberian huskies and I absolutely enjoy every dog's unique and quirky personality. I have dog sat on numerous occasions and walked many different types of dogs with many different types of personalities including puppies. I am very physically active and would be able to give your dog a physical and happy experience during walks while keeping them safe. I think I would be a great fit for you and your dog! I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Melissa has done a great job taking care of my 2 year-old cattle dog mix, Mattie, on multiple occasions. Mattie is a fairly needy dog, requiring a lot of attention and has a daily regiment of exercise and attention. Some of my travel has been longer than a week. Melissa has done an outstanding job watching Mattie and my house. Mattie is happy and well-cared for as is my house. Melissa sends me regular updates and has been very flexible accommodating my requests (she even sat for my friend's dog when a last minute snag developed!) I highly recommend her and will be booking her again.

I came home to find my Lucy happy and healthy!!! Melissa did a phenomenal job! I would absolutely trust Melissa with my dog. Lucy is everything to me and I know she was well cared for!

Melissa was awesome with Kona. I had to take a last minute trip and after meeting Melissa I was put at ease. She was very responsible, which is critical, because Kona has to take daily medication. We saw Melissa a couple days after she was done sitting and Kona was excited to see her again. I wouldn't hesitate to hire Melissa and even referred her to my mom.
