Trustworthy, Reliable, Caring.

Pet care experience

I strive to make you feel at ease when leaving your pup in the care of a stranger. I know pets are as much a part of the family as children are, and you want your family member in good hands. I have 5+ years of experience not only caring for dogs but also training them, as well as CPR Certified. You will not have to stress about your pup while he/she is in my care, I make sure to send multiple detailed updates with pictures/videos throughout their care. I am happy to make accommodations to make your pup feel happy and at home. I am available 7 days a week including most holidays. I can't wait to meet and bond with your lovely pups.

Melissa has been walking my two dogs for 8 months now. I was very nervous to have my dogs walked by a stranger because one of them is a rescue and she can be very scared and nervous. Lola takes a while to warm up to people and can sometimes growl or bear teeth when afraid, I thought Melissa would probably be discouraged to walk her but she was so patient with my Lola. My dogs get so excited now when i say her name, they love her! She even helped Lola with her dog/leash aggression. Melissa has gone above and beyond to make us and the dogs happy. She has never once cancelled or been late for a walk in the 8 months she's been helping us. She has even gone out of her way to help with dog and non dog messes, packages left for us without having to be ask. I could just keep going and going with how great Melissa has been. You will not be disappointed!

Information Melissa L. would like to know about your pet

I welcome all dog breeds, no discrimination here. I like to incorporate routines, rules, or activities practiced at home. Does your pup have a specific meal time and/or preferred food? Does your pup know basic training commands such as, sit, stay, down? Is he/she potty trained? Does your pup have any food allergies? Is your pup comfortable around other dogs and/or children?

A typical day

I live near a beautiful Nature preserve with a great trail that your pup and I can enjoy if he/she enjoys one-on-one time and likes exploring and sniffing, as well as a huge dog park with a water park (if that is something approved by you) for the social pups. I have a vast array of balls and Frisbees for the sporty pups that we can enjoy. Or if you have a laid back or older pup he/she can enjoy some TLC, naps, and belly rubs.
