Information Melissa L. would like to know about your pet
No breed preference. Just temperament transparency for my safety as well as your pooch’s I would like to know how your dog is around other dogs, strangers, bikes, skateboards etc. My own dog weighs 95 lbs and I have walked large breeds before but it is important for me to know your dogs walking habits a little better.
A typical day
I prefer to walk dogs around their homes to stay close to familiar scents but dog parks are fun and a great way to burn energy and tire younger pups out. If your dog prefers cuddles or catch or even running I need to get my steps in :)

Pet care experience
As an owner of an eleven-year-old male boxer and 2 cats, plus 2 years of volunteering experience at Chicago PAWS I am experienced in handling dogs professionally as well as with care and kindness. My own dog, Diablo, has an abundance of allergies and I am experienced in administering medicine both orally and through injections. I have handled/walked/cared for dogs for 2+ years at PAWS animal shelter and have experience in training techniques for better walking habits. My skill set also includes: (for both cats &dogs) • bathing • basic grooming (i.e. brushing, ear cleaning) • nail trimming and filing • brushing teeth • cleaning/massaging paws • dog and cat first aid Giving your pets the unique attention they require to stay happy and safe.
Reviews
Melissa is the best🩷 — we absolutely love her! She is so sweet with my baby, spoils him, takes amazing care of him, and always keeps me updated on how everything is going. My favorite part is that she’s always sharing videos and photos with me! She even plays with him and makes little blanket forts 🥹 We can truly tell she does this with so much love for dogs. She always goes the extra mile. Thank you so much, Melissa!✨🤗
Melisa is truly the best with my fur baby, Draco. She’s so loving, playful, and incredibly attentive to every instruction I leave for him. She always goes the extra mile to make sure he’s happy and well cared for. Draco absolutely loves her — he knows exactly when she’s coming, waits by the door, and gets so excited because he knows he’s about to be spoiled🥹,cuddled, and have lots of playtime! Melisa makes our days so much easier by making Draco’s day so much better. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone who will give your pup tons of love, attention, and keep you updated every single visit. Thank you for everything, Melisa🤍🤍
