Pet care is an all day, every day task for me! With a 4 month old puppy at home I am busy making sure he is getting the supervision, enrichment, and training he needs to grow into a perfect companion with the best life possible. I find it personally fulfiling to participate in any pup's growth and happiness.

I care for pets with a focus on mutual respect, tailoring my approach to each animal’s unique needs and motivators. There’s no "one size fits all" when it comes to pet care—every pet has its own personality, and being attuned to that is key to providing successful, compassionate care.

Pet care experience

I have experience with dogs from all walks of life—ranging from elderly dogs still enjoying their golden years to special needs dogs and rambunctious puppies eager to explore the world. I've participated in countless training sessions with my own dogs, from guiding puppies as they learn to providing leadership for reactive adult dogs in need of structure and support.

Melissa did a great job with my dog! He got lots of playtime and attention, which I’m sure he appreciated.

Melissa is such a caring and responsible dogwalker! She really takes the time to care for our dog, Kyrie, and you can tell because our dog immediately took to her. Melissa’s also a great communicator and has been proactive about letting me know if there’s any issues or any schedule changes. I highly recommend Melissa :)

Melissa is a wonderful dog walker! She has great communication and is so kind to our dog. We appreciate the time she takes to play with Kyrie and know that our dog’s in great hands when she’s with Melissa.
