Please let me know if your dog has special needs or if you have a specific request durning your dogs stay with me. No request is to big or to small!

A typical day

My goal is always keeping dogs happy and active! We’ll go on walks, play fetch or tug-of-war, and just have fun based on what they enjoy. If they’re more chill, I’m always up for cuddle time or just hanging out. I make sure every dog feels loved and has a great time while their owners are away.

Pet care experience

Hello, my name is Melissa, and thank you for taking the time to visit my profile. I bring years of experience in dog sitting and dog walking. I’ve had the privilege of caring for dogs of all ages and temperaments—from playful 3-month-old puppies to senior companions up to 16 years old who need a little extra patience and care. In addition to pet care, I actively volunteer at the Tracy Animal Shelter in Tracy, California, where I work hands-on with dogs in need of love and support.

Melissa is so sweet! Very accommodating and love the updates through the visit. She was on time and my boy loved her. Definitely adding her to our “nanny” list♥️

Melissa is an excellent dog walker who provides outstanding service. She is punctual, dependable, and clearly dedicated to the well-being of the dogs in her care. My dog always returns happy and well-exercised, and her communication and professionalism make scheduling effortless. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a trustworthy and responsible dog walker.

Melissa is an animal lover. I would trust my fur babies to her without any reservations. She is honest, reliable, and trustworthy. Most important, she will care for your animal, as if it were her own. She will be committed to you and your fur baby.

Melissa is so kind and compassionate with the dogs! I have the pleasure of volunteering with her at our local animal shelter thru the dog walking program! Always walking with a leash, she ensures the dogs have fun and are safe while enjoying time out of their kennels! She gives snuggles, kisses, and treats too! I’d hire Melissa to walk my dog! Five star ⭐️ review!
