I am animal obsessed, in a good way

Pet care experience

I was born in Portland, Oregon and moved to Manhattan to attend Pace University as a Directing and Devised Acting major. My family has always loved animals and I've owned a pet since I was two. Living in New York has made me miss having a dog in the house to love and play with. I currently work for a vet hospital, and get my fair share of dogs over there. Working there has its advantages when it comes to dogs because I am more aware to what certain injuries and diseases look like, as well as a moderate knowledge of different medications and what they do. And no matter what I will always make time for your pup! I am able to take care of all kinds of dogs starting from a 1 month old puppy to a 19 year old dog.

Information Melissa M. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know if the dog is allergic or sensitive to anything, so that I am more cautious and knowledgable. Also it's very helpful to know if the dog has any triggers such as other dogs, loud noises, etc. I do not have a breed preference, a beautiful dog is a beautiful dog.

A typical day

There are plenty of dog parks in Manhatten, so if the dog is friendly and safe I would love to take them to a dog park because I know my dogs always loved running around and playing with other dogs. Also, for dogs that aren't, but also are friendly, I can take the dog around Manhatten walking. If we are near a waterfront I usually like to walk along that or through a park, but ultimately I let the owner decide if they have a preference. If the dog is high energy we could go on runs together. I could also spend some time playing with them with balls and ropes and other such toys.
