Every dog is my soul-mate

Pet care experience

Hi, I'm Mel! I love to be outside, which means I can take your dog for excellent walks. Your pup will be provided with a plethora of enriching experiences, such as car rides, excursions in nearby Como Park, or even a visit with my cat, Cora. I trained my own dogs when I was 11 years old, and have been studying animal behavior ever since. I am a part time student, paying my way through college. I love working with all animals, so if you have a pet me to care for, canine or not, I'm your gal!

Melissa was an absolute godsend for our last vacation. Prompt, honest, caring, helpful. She made Chedder the happiest chubby old dog in the world for 4 days. We came home to a clean home and well taken care of pets. A wonderful introduction to Rover. We will use her services again and again. Highly recommended.

Information Melissa N. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know how your dog reacts in new situations, such as experiencing new dogs, people, or places? What are some activities your dog enjoys? Do they have a special routine?

A typical day

Taking a dog for a walk is a special experience for us both! I love to provide as enriching and stimulating of a walk as possible, with as much stopping to sniff things as pup desires. This leads to slower walks with less mileage, but I believe that dogs deserve to stop and sniff anything they want, as that's their best sense to understand the world!
