Availability

I am a teacher who is off for the summer so I have lots of time to spend with your pets. I am available for frequent potty breaks and enjoy doing one longer walk each day. During the school year, I have more availability on long weekends and school breaks. I am still happy to dogsit during the work week!

Information Melissa O. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know your dog's temperament, how much food they eat and how often, any allergies, and how they are with other dogs and people. I love bigger dogs. American Staffordshire Terriers are my favourite breed!

A typical day

Weather permitting, I would love to take your dog out to the beach or any dog parks nearby! I am fine with taking a dog out for potty breaks (or even just some fresh air) as many times as needed.

Pet care experience

Hello, I’m Melissa! I have 12+ years experience working with pets. While I was in university, I supported myself by dog sitting and dog walking. I now have my own dog - a sweet rescue named Cedar. She is occasionally shy with other dogs but does not have any issues with them. We live in the West End, close to great dog parks and beaches. We love to hike, so if your dog stays with me they will get plenty of exercise!

I chose Melissa for the very clear awesome vibes, she is just as warm and kind as her profile suggests. I had a very big moving day and Melissa brought her to our new home rested and relaxed which made those first steps in here so so easy. I will absolutely keep Melissa as my first to reach out to! Cannot recommend enough!
