Pet care experience

Five Star Dog Walker/Pet Sitter

I live with my husband in a spacious home with a good-sized fenced in backyard perfect for dogs. I grew up with dogs of all shapes and sizes and love watching my family and friends fur babies. I love going on long walks and I'm a very active person, which makes me perfect for caring for other dogs. If you need a dog walker, dog babysitter or someone to stop by and feed your dog please let me know! I know it gets hot in Arizona during the summer time so I am able to walk dogs in the morning and evening or I can provide doggie boots to keep the dogs paws from becoming too hot! I'm very flexible in regards to the size and breeds of dogs and can provide references if needed.

Melissa and her family treated our dogs like their own. Thank you!! The pictures she shared with us showed our dogs enjoying themselves. Melissa was very attentive to the fact that this was their first visit and they may be uncomfortable. She made them so comfortable and welcome. We picked up happy dogs.

Melissa and her family are great with our dog Zoey. She takes the time to send an update and photos and we are very happy with the way her and her family take care of our dog. Zoey is always so happy to go there.

I don't usually leave reviews, but I'm making an exception for Melissa. She has been wonderful for our little guy Archie. She and her family always welcome him into their home, and he just becomes one of them. I can tell he loves being there. Melissa is kind, caring, and I know Archie is in great hands when we have to leave him. Thanks Melissa!
