Lover of dogs and the outdoors

Pet care experience

I’ve always owned and cared for pets, mainly dogs and cats. I will give your dog lots of love and proper, attentive care while they’re missing you! I have flexible availability as my hours change often at my job, but I know my schedule pretty well in advance. I love to play with dogs, and I’ve also trained a few different dogs of my own as well. I have no problem going to their home to make them feel more comfortable while you’re away. I’ve cared for dogs of many temperaments and different levels of activity, and I can adjust to their needs! I’m pretty sure I love animals more than humans most days and will take care of their needs as you request it.

Melissa was so great on Maple’s walk! She dealt with some logistical challenges with grace and communicated proactively with us. Thank you, Melissa! Glad we’ll be working together again soon.

Melissa was wonderful! We had a meet and greet and Honey immediately ran around and made herself at home. While we were gone, Melissa provided daily updates and we saw how much fun Honey had. She got to snuggle, fetch endlessly and explore Seattle parks. I would definitely ask Melissa to take care of my dog again. She also has two cats that she's very good at managing introductions for. Skilled pet lover!

Just any temperaments/behavioral needs I would need to address. I especially love labs and golden retrievers, but I love all sweet temperamented dogs!
