I'll be your dog's 2nd best friend

Pet care experience

I've been around animals my whole life, raising, breeding, training, showing dogs and horses. I've always had a special connection with animals and develop a trusting friendship with them quickly. I've worked with a lot of large breeds and am a smart dog handler when it comes to safety, avoiding aggressive dogs when out walking, looking for signs of distress in a dog such as overheating or abnormal behavior due to something they ate or where exposed to. Your dog's health and happiness are my number one priority. I love playing with dogs, exercising and socializing them. If they spend time with me they will automatically get some good training because bad behavior is quickly and gently corrected. My dog-son Chester (a gorgeous rescued Chuahaha mix) is with me most of the time and likes to attend my dog walks and visits. If you don't want Chester to come along, please let me know in advance.

Melissa is a special dog loving person. She has awareness of specific needs and behaviors that are important for the care and exercise of your dog. She has excellent communication skills that are essential to have with the owner's wants and needs for their pet. She is trust worthy and treats other dogs as if they are her own . I would reccomend her for walking or dog sitting and know my animal is in good safe loving hands. No worries with this fine lady !

I am also a professional dog trainer and can help your dog overcome behavioral problems. I have been raising, training, breeding and showing dogs throughout my life.

I love to exercise dogs on the beach, Top of the World and give city walks around downtown Laguna Beach. Socialization of your dog is as important as exercise and I'll do both.
