I enjoy dogs more than people

Pet care experience

I have 10+ years experience with dogs. I worked at a dog daycare for 8 months, have read many training books and am very patient. I have a 12 year old pomeranian, a 4 year old Australian Shepherd and a 1 year old Siberian Husky. We enjoy walking and hiking together quite often. I love high energy dogs that help me to stay active. I love teaching tricks and walking the beach. I'd be happy to help you and your fur babies out any way I can whether it be with training, reactivity issues or just general care. Dogs with special needs are not an issue. I can administer medications and am trained in pet first aid. I am affectionate toward any dog and try my best to ease into new experiences for them. I am learning to deal with forms of aggression in dogs. I understand how hard it is to find a trustworthy person to care for your family member. I treat dogs like I would treat my friends. I love dog kisses and cuddles too.

Melissa instantly connected with our pup when she came to meet him and he really took to her. She was very professional, loving and kind to him. I’d definitely recommend her and will contact her again when needed. Thank you Melissa for the great service and the great chat!

Melissa is a responsible and caring individual who loves dogs, and has lived with them for most of her life. I have known Melissa for 6 years and we frequently go for walks and hikes together, along with her Pomeranian, who she adores. She always has plenty of water for her dog, as well as food, treats and poop bags. I have seen pictures of Melissa with dogs she has lived with throughout her life, and they are obviously very happy with her. I have also met up with Melissa while she was caring for other dogs in New Brunswick, and those dogs clearly liked her as well. Melissa is completely trustworthy with the responsibility of caring for dogs.
