Home full-time - dog lover

Pet care experience

Hi there! My name's Melissa and I've been a dog-lover for all 26 years of my life. I'm currently home full time, but am a certified Physician Assistant. I've always had a dog, both big (120 lb. german shephard/lab) and small (25 lb. corgi), and can't imagine life without a furry friend. I've watched many dogs (Pitbull, Bichon frise, Cockapoo) and client's homes while they were away. I love exercising and would love to walk or jog (if appropriate) with your dogs. I've cared for dogs with diabetes, who are blind and who have lost bladder control due to old age. Because I am in the medical field I would feel comfortable administering any medication your dog may regularly need. Looking forward to hearing from you and your four legged friend!!

Kind, energetic, fun, attentive, responsive! Melissa is my go-to when I need someone to watch or walk my black lab. Always a pleasant experience. Thanks Melissa!

We had a great experience with Melissa! Needed a last minute drop in visit/walk for our energetic 9 month old dog Buster, and she was super responsive and professional. We came home to a very happy boy - would definitely recommend!

Melissa has loved dogs since I met her over 7 years ago. Whenever a family member or friend goes away on vacation, they always ask Melissa if she can watch their pets because they know they’ll be in good hands. When Melissa visits me, she always plays with my maltipoo and offers to walk him. She is caring and responsible and would be great for this job!

Melissa was super professional and my dog Holly loved her! Every time we have Melissa come and walk her, I have a very happy, content, and pooped out pup when I come home! I would recommend her to anyone I know who needs someone they can trust to take care of their baby!
