Morning Walks 8:00 AM- 10:00 AM A great time for an early stretch! Perfect for active dogs that need to burn off energy before you start your day. Late Morning Walks 10:30 AM -12:00 PM For those dogs who need a mid-morning adventure, I provide gentle strolls or fun playtime to break up the day. Afternoon Walks 12:30 PM - 3:00 PM Ideal for dogs that love a longer walk in the afternoon sun. This time is great for social dogs to meet new friends along the way. Evening Walks 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM Perfect for a relaxing sunset walk or a bit of energy-burning before dinner time. Weekend Walks & Special Requests Need a walk on the weekend or outside of these hours? I have you covered! Just reach out for custom scheduling options that work for your and your dog's needs.

Pet care experience
I have over 10 plus years experience dog walking, house sitting and providing canine massage. I have been around many different types of dogs. Each dog is unique and special. Additionally I am a Licensed Massage Therapist and have training in providing Canine Massage. Do you have a senior dog who has arthritis, joint pain or maybe your dog is an anxious dog and would benefit from a calming massage? I am extremely passionate about volunteering with a rescue organization. I do my best to attend adoption events. I am very tuned into the needs of animals I am around and will extend the best care and provide lots of love and attention!
Reviews
Kind and attentive, nice to have someone check on my puppy when I'm at work
Melissa has been flexible and supportive when caring for my puppy! She's been thoughtful in suggesting ideas to help Toffee be more comfortable alone (she's not used to my schedule of going back to the office a few days a week yet). I appreciate the ease of mind she provides when I can't be home with my cutie.
Melissa’s love of dogs is matched only by her responsible nature and level headed approach to pet care. I feel being trustworthy and respectful to both pet and owner is key and Melissa has these qualities. I have entrusted my pet care to her and would recommend her as a faithful, responsible caregiver for any beloved pet.
I can’t say enough good things about Melissa as a dog walker! She has a natural connection with animals, and my dogs Ace and Lego absolutely adore her. Melissa is reliable, punctual, and always goes above and beyond to make sure my dog gets exercise and attention. I feel so comfortable knowing that my fur babies are in such caring and capable hands especially if I have to be away overnight. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets like family.
