Information Melissa M. would like to know about your pet

Any behaviors like dog, food, toy aggression. Time they are fed, let out and walk schedule. Are they scared of loud noises like fireworks, thunder. Any allergies. Am I able to drive them to a park to walk them.

A typical day

I love waking. We could explore some nice walking trails around with great smells to explore! Play time is great to. Usually when I play fetch I like to add a comman like sit, stay, or down before I throw it. Tug is fun as well! Puzzle treat game is great mental simulation. Anything your pup loves to do I’m always ready for!

Pet care experience

I’ve have pets in my life for over 24years and have been working with dogs and cats since 2004 I graduated pet grooming school in 2020 and now groom dogs full time and a plus to the job is we have doggie daycare! Playing fetch and cuddling with a pup always takes the stress away! For 3 years I worked at a boarding kennel and came in contact with dogs of all sizes, and also learned how to give medication. I was a foster for a year and helped out 4 dogs find their forever home. Was the most rewarding experience and hope to get back into that soon. Anything else you would want to know, just ask!! I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby!
