I treat dogs in my care like FAMILY

Pet care experience

HI! ☀️ I'm Melissa and I love boarding and walking dogs! I have a roommate who takes just as much care of the dogs, so someone is ALWAYS home with your dogs in our care. While discovering my own personal passions for my side hustles, I like to walk dogs/dog sit :) I'm lively, I love meeting new energies and moments to get active. I've cared for my own dog and dogs of other families for about 8+ years now. I'm certified in A+ belly rubs, cuddling and proper feeding, drinking, walking and snack schedules. It would be my pleasure to take care of your beautiful pup and shower it with love! I'm responsible, reliable and punctual. You can count on me. I'm available for COVID-19 friendly meet and greets (please wear masks) and I have flexibility for late night pick ups - communication is all I need. I'm available 24/7 on my cell, always there for you. Please do not be alarmed at my % of photos sent. For ALL new clients, you will receive an immediate update about an hour after drop off, then an update the morning after the first night. After that, the number of updates you’d like is determined by you. I’m happy to send daily updates through photos and video of your dogs in our care! My repeat clients stop asking for photos so my percentage has gone a bit low.

Melissa and her roommate were great with our Yorkie, who is blind and needs special care going up and down stairs. We would definitely book her again! Thank you Melissa!

I don’t know what I would do without the care my dog receives from Melissa. Her reliability and kindness gives me such a peace of mind whenever I leave my Puddles with her. Puddles is 15 years old shih tzu, totally blind in one eye with glaucoma and to provide him with an environment that he is familiar with is very calming for him and provides me a peace of mind. Knowing he is not confused with his surroundings is soo important for his well being and my peace of of mind as I travel the globe. In fact, I change my work schedule to coordinate with Melissa’s availability. She’s soo awesome and soo much more! Thank God for such a precious Angel to watch over my Puddles🙏🏿❤️

Information Melissa T. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences at all, but I would like to know the personality of your dog so I understand how to treat him/her. If there are any allergies, prior illnesses, daily habits, schedules, etc.

A typical day

I like to be mindful in NYC, so I like walking around the neighborhood to find the local park. I like to take dogs for a walk (or run if the dog is up for it) to the park and then take a rest for me to journal and play time for your dog at the park. I love giving belly massages and am a great cuddle buddy!
