Information Melissa M. would like to know about your pet

Does your pup chew or bark? Are they potty trained? How are they around other dogs? Do they enjoy long walks or runs or maybe prefer the dog park?

A typical day

I truly love watching dogs more than my actual job so I can play with them all day. I have feeding puzzles for stimulation, I love walks in the neighborhood, I also hike alot. I have a membership to WagBar and frequently take the dogs there to play.

Pet care experience

I grew up caring for dogs - small, medium and large, old and young - and have never lived without one! To me, a pup is an extension of the family and I love being able to take care of a wide variety of dogs. I do have one pup right now, who absolutely adores other dogs and is very friendly, cuddly and playful. I work from home so I'm available to pay attention to your pup all day long. After work, I typically take my pup for a long walk or to the dog park. On weekends I like to hike and would love to bring your dog along on my adventures! I have experience with puppies, senior pups and dogs with special needs/medications/allergies, etc so your pup will be comfortable and well taken care of with me!
