Availability
I have a flexible work schedule on weekdays between 9am and 3pm, which allows me to provide reliable dog walks and drop-in visits during the day. Whether your pup needs a mid-morning stroll, an afternoon check-in, or a little extra playtime, I can work around your dog’s needs and make sure they get plenty of attention and care. I have even more flexibility on weekends!

About Melissa P.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I treat every pet with care and respect, whether in their home or on a walk. I make sure your home is safe while I’m visiting and follow any instructions you provide. On walks, I keep dogs leashed, attentive, and happy, making sure they get exercise and mental stimulation safely. I’m reliable, attentive, and always focused on your pet’s comfort and well-being.
Information Melissa P. would like to know about your pet
I like to know a bit about your pup so I can give the best care! Some helpful info includes: any allergies or health concerns, feeding schedule and amounts, favorite activities and toys, how often you’d like walks versus playtime in the yard or around the house, and any special routines or things that make your dog feel comfortable.
A typical day
I love exploring the neighborhood with pups! I’m training for a half marathon, so I can take your dog on a short run if that’s something you’d like. Otherwise, we’ll walk, play, cuddle, and hang out, making sure your furry friend gets exercise, attention, and lots of love!

Mom on the run, loves walking dogs❤
Pet care experience
Back in Action! I’m excited to be walking and visiting pups again after a few years away. I’m a dog-loving mom and experienced walker who loves keeping pups happy and active! I’ve cared for dogs both in their homes and on fun walks, and my clients appreciate my reliability and attention to detail. As a runner and busy mom, I know how important exercise and adventure are for dogs. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend for a walk or a drop-in visit!
