Compassionate Animal Caregiver
Pet care experience
I'm young and energetic with a passion for helping and caring for animals. I grew up around dogs, lizards, snakes, and rodents, so I'm comfortable with many kinds of creatures. I volunteered at a Humane Society in Washington before coming to California, and I especially love working with dogs. I have two dogs, one of which is an Asian Meat Trade Rescue, so I am very sensitive to animals who have experienced trauma. I know how to properly handle myself around scared and timid dogs. I'm also very active and I love playing with, exercising, and socializing with dogs of all sizes (my current companions are 20lbs and 50lbs). Also, please don't be fooled by my small stature! I was raised with a 130lb lab mix that loved to pull on his leash, but I could handle him well on walks. I have a strong belief that pets are family, and I treat them with the same love and understanding that I would a child. Know that if you trust me with your animals, they will be in safe and loving hands.
Reviews
you’re the best!!! i’m sure he loved the walk :)))
Melissa is amazing with our fur babies, they absolutely love her and so do we! 10/10 recommend.
Melissa has been caring for my dog for several months and has been fabulous. My dog recently became ill and now requires medication twice a day. Melissa has been great at giving my dog medication, which is not an easy task. She’s also been incredibly reliable and I know I can count on her.
Melissa was patient, caring and a trooper with my pup who is not a fan of new people and a very enthusiastic and fast walker, well actually more of a runner. Melissa gain his trust and kept up with the little runner! He always returned happy from his walks and I can’t be happier that we met Melissa while visiting in the area. Definitely recommend her, she is truly a caring and dog-loving person. Thank you Melissa!

Information Melissa M. would like to know about your pet
I love all breeds, but I definitely prefer medium to large dogs. I have a small Shiba at home, so I do love little dogs as well.
A typical day
Parks, lakes, hiking trails, leisurely strolls... It depends on their personality! If your dog needs quiet and calm, I have soothing anti-anxiety music for dogs. I'm currently a full-time student, so if they want to sleep all day while I work on homework, that's perfect too! I can adapt to any situation they need.
