WFH dog loving WA transplant

Pet care experience

Hi there! I have grown up my whole life with dogs and cannot begin to tell you how much I love them. I have experience taking care of many types of dogs ranging from small Bichons to big German Shepherds. I currently work from home. I love to have dogs around to take on frequent walks to distract me from work. I enjoy staying active and run often, so if you have a dog that likes to run, even better. I will give your pet all the love and attention he or she needs. You can rest easy knowing your dog will be in good hands with me. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup soon!

Our dog, Artemis, really enjoyed her daycare session with Melissa! Artemis is young and highly social, so it's great that she she got lots of backyard playtime with another pup in Melissa's care. Melissa was also great with her communication and send us delightful pics during Artemis' stay.

Melissa is great. Our dog got plenty of exercise and time with other dogs. Will use her again next time we are out of town.
