You have to have a Melissa P in your LIFE! Sadly, I had to move back to France but she had this loving, calming alluring gravitating pull about her. I just so happened to come across her walking dogs one day coming from the the bank & I stopped her & it was a 10 year relationship. I got more than a dog walker. I got a wonderful friend. But mostly because no one has been able to handle my 3 dogs better than Melissa. She was better than myself I have to admit & maybe because she spent more time with them , but she is very punctual. She wipes their faces and backsides if necessary. Very very loving. They could jump on top of her & it's like she doesn't get bothered in the least bit, She provides treats,naps & snacks if necessary.But nothing amounts to the amount of LOVE & exercise she provides. It breaks my heart because I haven't found anyone close to Melissa P, All I can tell you if she absolutely adores our fur children as if they were her own & you will NOT be disappointed!! Many pros the only cons I had was that I seen she was in high demand. And I felt like her rates were beyond reasonable for everything she does it was no brainer....
