Information Melissa M. would like to know about your pet

I love to know what a dog likes to do, or doesn’t like. It’s also important to know what kind of training and boundaries you want followed as a pet parent.

A typical day

My dog doesn’t really like toys so any chance I get I love to engage in healthy toy time together. If walks are permitted, and the weather allows for it, we will go on fun walks together. If the pups like water, we will play in the water!

Pet care experience

I’ve owned my own dog for 13 years now and also worked at 2 major pet retail supply stores. I even tried my hand at grooming dogs, and still love to give dogs a bath and trim their nails. I had the pleasure of taking care of my friends senior dog who was terminally ill while he had to be away for work. I got the best snuggles from her! I am currently working as an optician, but I am saving to buy a house so I can run a pet sitting/doggy day care business from my home.
