Caring and trustworthy individual

I have two rescue dogs, one of which I have owned for 8+ years. I also volunteer at a local rescue where I take dogs out of the kennel for walks on a regular basis. On top of my love for dogs, I am a teacher, so I am responsible and caring.

Safety, trust & environment

I have experience with dogs at a kennel, so I am used to making sure dogs are safe and well taken care of. I am careful to make sure doors are secure and leashes/harnesses are properly put on to secure the safety of your pet. I have experience putting dogs in and taking them out of a crate. Your dogs safety is top priority.

Melissa has been walking and caring for my dog for many years. She is a caring and knowledgeable dog owner and companion and I would recommend her to anyone. Happy to provide a personal statement to anyone who is looking for special attention for their canine companion.

Melissa loves caring for animals. She cares for her own dogs as if they were her children. She volunteers for Dog Star rescue. She is a conscientious, responsible, caring person.

Melissa is a dog mom of two rescues and spends her free time volunteering for a local dog rescue organization. She is caring, devoted and always puts her dogs needs above her own. I dare you to find someone who loves and supports dogs as much as she does.

Melissa treats every pet like her own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. Whether it’s a daily walk or extended care, she goes above and beyond to provide attentive and reliable service. You can have complete peace of mind knowing your pets are in excellent hands with Melissa.

Schedule

I am a teacher, but I do not teach every day of the week and have summers and breaks off, so I am available many days to help take care of your pets and their needs. I also have owned dogs for the last 8 years and have experience with all aspects of pet care.

I’ve dealt with dogs that lunge at cars or don’t enjoy walking, but any and all pertinent info you can share about your dog ahead of time, such as what I listed, would be very helpful!
