About Melissa P.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I’m especially experienced with rescue dogs and seniors. I understand how to read body language and adjust energy accordingly, creating a calm and reassuring experience for your pet. Safety is my top priority. I double-check doors, leashes, gates, and any instructions every visit. If I ever have a question, I communicate immediately — I don’t make assumptions when it comes to your pet. I also reinforce basic commands during walks if desired, helping maintain structure and good leash habits. When you're looking for a reliable weekday walker or recurring drop-in sitter, who takes scheduling seriously and values long-term consistency, I’d love to connect

Reviews
It was obvious that my dogs and home were well cared for and made rebooking for my next vacation an easy choice. Melissa is a great communicator and I felt assured that Stella and Bucky were in good hands.
My little old dog just loves Melissa. She makes her feel calm when I am away. We will be calling again. Thanks Melissa. You are awesome!
Melissa was so great and took such good care of our boy! We booked her last minute - she was super flexible and Prince warmed up to her so quickly. Thank you, Melissa!!
Mellisa was excellent! She was a great communicator and sent lots of pics of our dog which put my anxiety at ease! She watched our dog as she was recovering from ACL surgery and did a great job with all her extra needs. We came home to a nice clean house and a happy dog, would high recommend!
