furry friend enthusiast

Pet care experience

I am currently a college student in Ann Arbor looking to walk dogs in my free time. As a child I grew up surrounded by dogs and other pets, so I have an innate love for all animals especially dogs. At home I have a young boxer puppy, so I am very used to strong, high energy dogs! I enjoy getting fresh air and am used to all types of weather ranging from very strong humidity to blizzards. Inclement weather does not deter me. I also enjoy sticking to a schedule. Dog walking is very important for dogs as it allows them to get exercise and release energy throughout the day. I am looking forward to entertaining your dogs through safe walks. I will pay close attention to all instructions as I understand every owner has different preferences and routines for their furry friend. I will treat your dog as my own. I look forward to meeting your dogs!

Melissa has done a wonderful job at taking care of my tamaskan wolf-dog/husky mix, Zeus. She is the most diligent, reliable person that I have worked with. Zeus has a shy, flighty, and skittish personality; yet Melissa was able to connect with him and they love to play together! She has my recommendation, no doubt.

For the past two years, Melissa has been my family’s go to dog walker and sitter. She always arrives on time and takes my dog for long walks or to the dog park. Melissa is absolutely trustworthy and very responsible, and any dog would be lucky to be walked by her.

Melissa is the most caring, responsible person I know! She is so incredibly passionate about animals, and loves them dearly. I have trusted her with my pets many times and she gives such great care. Highly recommend!

Melissa has grown up with boxers and is a wonderful caregiver to them. She loves all breeds and knows how important socialization and exercise are for all dogs.
