Outdoor enthusiast who loves dogs!

Pet care experience

Hello! I am currently pursuing a Master’s degree at the University of Denver in Creative Writing and working on another masters at the same school for Curriculum and Instruction. I love being outside with my own dog, Maggie--a one-eyed Great Dane/Doberman mix. I adopted her at three months old--the last of her litter because she only had one eye. I have an incredible amount of experience with dogs--even ones who have a disability like my own--and have a special place in my heart for them. At 4, Maggie is a happy, healthy, very active dog! We run almost every other day, hike, and snuggle on the couch during cold weather. She LOVES to play with other pups. I have a lot of experience with dogs, taken them to training classes, and trained them myself, so I am very experienced working with dogs of all sizes, ages, and disabilities. I would love to meet your dog!

I recently got a new job where I am away from home for most of the day, and I was worried that my dog would be lonely, so I got Melissa to start walking him. My dog loves Melissa and she actually seems to love him too. It's a real comfort to know that while I'm away my dog is being taken care of by someone who genuinely cares about him and isn't just in it for the money. If anyone is looking for a reliable caregiver who actually cares about the happiness of your dog, look no farther than Melissa!

Melissa is an exceptional care-giver to my dog whenever I am unavailable. There are very few people that my anxiety-riddled pup trust to take care of her when I'm not around and Melissa does an exceptional job. She is the most reliable dog walker I've ever dealt with and can always be counted on for feeding as well. Taking a dog around the neighborhood, to the park, or to a dog beach can be a stressful thing to leave in someone else's hands but I have all the faith in the world in Melissa's capable abilities. 10/10 would recommend.

A typical day

If they're dog friendly, going to the dog park, on hikes, and on leisurely strolls around the neighborhood if it's cool outside. If they're super active, I'll take them on runs, play tug-of-war, and snuggle up together at the end of the day to watch a movie.
