About Melissa O.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
As our new-ish puppy becomes more social with other dogs, I am only offering pet care in clients homes. In your home I can offer to walk, play, and low-energy interaction as well as feedings and medication management. So, whether your 4 legged friends need exercise, or company, I'm available to customize a care plan to you and their needs.
Information Melissa O. would like to know about your pet
During a meet and greet, we can talk about what your pets social and physical boundaries are for their and my safety. As an ongoing client, we can continue to communicate about any changes that need to be made to make the most of our time together. Needs regarding medication management and behavior issues that could be a safety concern need to be discussed prior to confirming bookings.
A typical day
I believe in the value of communication, so I always talk a lot to pets. I also believe in the power of touch, so based on your pets needs, I provide a sense of comfort through pets, ear scratches and belly rubs. We can customize a care plan to include walks, playing in a secure outdoor or indoor space, and companionship for high anxiety pets.

Reviews

Melissa did great and communicated well. Would use her again.


Melissa was great about coming over and meeting my dogs and was flexible about my work schedule. She was a real lifesaver!

I really appreciated how easily and quickly communication went with Melissa. She helped out in a pinch, and went above and beyond. Would absolutely recommend her moving forward

Awesome walker!
