Just want to help out!

Pet care experience

My services are catered to each owner, so if you leave me with special instructions regarding your dog, I can do them! I can walk your dog, feed them, take them out on walks, but most importantly play around with them to release all the energy they have! Or if your dog is like mine and likes to lounge around, I'm cool with just hanging out and rubbing their bellies.

Melissa did great with our 10mo Milo - she dealt with his separation anxiety, him tearing up his own bed, and a few other hurdles over his week long stay with her. Highly recommended!

Melissa has been great with our dog, Pippin, while we left him with her for day care. We had no issues, and everything went smoothly. We'd be comfortable going to Melissa again.

Safety, trust & environment

I like to make sure that there is always food and water available, and of course, toys. My dog in particular has an unhealthy obsession with balls, so I always have a tennis ball at home or in my car. As long as clear instructions are given, we’ll always have a safe and fun time!

Information Melissa M. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if they get along with other dogs, maybe get a little shy or anxious when around other dogs, love being at home as opposed to going to that park or vice versa! I can base off activities a bit better with that sort of information.

A typical day

I moved from Philly to a farm in south Jersey, so the environment is definitely much more open. A typical day at the farm is waking up on the morning, and going on a nice walk before work and another one at lunch. In the evenings, I like to do a bit of gardening or relax while dinner is being made.
