Animal care & love is my specialty!

Pet care experience

I am a college graduate who completely adores dogs (and all animals really)! I am incredibly empathetic towards animals so I pay attention to little details regarding any dog I care for. I like to make them feel comfortable, safe, and as happy as they can be without their owner around! I have worked for Wag for about 7 years, another dog sitting/boarding/walking app. If I am caring for your dog, you have nothing to worry about because they will have my full and undivided attention. One of my favorite things to do is cuddle and play with my dog and I would sure love to give your pet some love too! My phone is always on me and always on sound, so if you need to contact me I assure I will be there to answer any questions or concerns you may have. Feel free to message me for any requests.

Melissa was great! She went above and beyond to care for our Nino. We would highly recommend her to others!

I have to say that Melissa has always shown to be kind, gentle, and thoughtful when it comes to caring for all animals, but the strong bond and affection she shows specifically with dogs is clearly a pure and genuine one.

Information Melissa R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any weird little cute habits your dog may have. In order for dogs to feel comfortable and safe, they should follow their regular routine and I like to make sure they do so.

A typical day

I live in a very grassy neighborhood for hot days where your dog may need a walk, but the concrete is too hot for paws! I pay attention to many small details such as that. I bring water for myself and the dog on every walk to make sure we both stay hydrated! if allowed by the owner, I live very close to a beautiful, shady and fun dog park.
