Pet care experience
Can I pet that dog?!
I have taken care of dogs since, I started walking?!! In all seriousness, Since I was 10 I started dog walking or watching other peoples pets overnight. I can walk, feed, bathe and administer oral medication with ease. I have worked closely with senior pups who are needing medication - so this isn't a problem for me! I work from home during the day, but have breaks every 2 hours for potty breaks! I have a sweet velcro Doberman who is friendly with dogs of all sizes - his bestfriend is about a quarter of his size! He is typically lounging on the couch watching a movie. He may look big, but hes honestly just a big baby. I live a block away from a fenced dog park if your furry friend is friendly, and a few blocks from the beach for a more scenic walk. Your dog will be treated like family while they're visiting - it will be there home away from home!

Freya loves staying at Melissa’s! She’s the best! Thanks for taking care of our baby!
Freya always enjoys spending time with Melissa and Reese. She came back so tired and happy today. Thanks for always taking great care of her!
Melissa & Mensha are always amazing! Reece their dog is so friendly too and it’s good to have a furry friend while away from home!
We always trust Melissa whenever we are going away for an overnight trip. We know she will take care of our girl just like we would and we always get lots of super cute updates.
Melissa is the best! Freya always feels at home at their place and she loves Reese. So glad to be able to leave her with a BFF and awesome auntie.

Schedule
I currently work from home and get breaks every 2 hours so I can take your furry friend out for a walk on each break.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Since working from home, I'm able to do walks with your pupper as well as play a good game of tug-o-war while working.. Don't worry, your baby will receive lots of love during their visit. I have lick matts, a basket full of toys, bully sticks as well as puzzle toys to keep them occupied in between walks. I also keep "dog tv" on during the day.
Pets
A typical day
We live in between a big dog park - if your dog is, dog friendly as well as near the beach for a more personable time if they are a bit more selective with other furry friends. If they are good off leash we are able to do (off leash) hikes or bigger more secluded parks & if they need to be leashed I have both 15ft & 30ft leashes so they can explore like they are off leash!
