Safety, trust & environment

I never let dogs out on their own even in a fenced yard. I like to watch to make sure they are going potty and not getting into trouble or eating things as we know they do. On walks we won't socialize with other pets unless specified by owners.

Information Melissa M. would like to know about your pet

I would like to be made away of any behavioral issues ahead of time. Just so I'm aware. Any special needs, dos and don't such as treats or allergies.

A typical day

If we are going on walks I will allow them to do some exploring. Sniffing is how dogs learn about the world. If we stay at your home, we will play with their toys. Run in the yard and work on simple commands with the time we have.

Pet care experience

I have has the responsibility of taking care of family pets since I was 12. I got my first dog to myself when I was 22 and realized they are more than just pets. I now have 2 more that I would do and have done anything for including midnight pharmacy runs and making sure they have a fenced yard to play safely in. I treat all pets exactly how I treat my own.
