Pet care experience
My name is Mel T. and I can't wait to get outside with your dog! I grew up with a Dachshund named Zeke and have always enjoyed being the go-to pet sitter for my friends and family. I am ready to run the energy out of puppies and also have experience with old dogs and special needs, for example my best friend's dog, Sadie, who has hip displatia. When I care for her I have to pay special attention to get her the right kind of exercise, medications and massages. My fiance's sweet Golden Retriever had frequent seizures and I was able to help her through them. My brother's dog, Kinder, is a beautiful Border Collie puppy who thinks she's a lap dog. Her endless energy taught me how to become the leader. Now that you've heard about the great dogs in my life, I hope I'll get the opportunity to meet the one in yours!
Reviews
I needed to find an occasional walker for my terrier/chihuahua mix, Kiko. Melissa is great! It’s clear she loves dogs. When she came over Kiko was immediately comfortable with her and happily went out with her. Mel sent some really cute pictures of their walk together and Kiko was happy and relaxed when they got back. I will definitely book Mel in the future when I need a walker!
Melissa is a kind and attentive caregiver. My dog can be a lot to handle and Melissa is always sweet and patient with my pup's need for constant fetch and cuddles. Our dog has stayed with her on several occasions. Melissa has also taken her on walks and playdates to the dog park. I highly recommend her for both walks and overnight care.
Mel was a fantastic find for our pups! She not only kept them happy at our home, she invited them to join her family for Christmas (and shared lots of pics)! We came home to wagging tails! I look forward to using Mel again when we're out of town!
Melissa has been a godsend for us! I recently started a new job that requires many, many hours away from the house. I was desperate to find a kind and trustworthy walker for my Toy Yorkie and then Melissa came along and took all my worries away! I love her photo text messages of her and my little Mia out and about having fun … it makes my work day less stressed knowing that Mia is in good hands!
