Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog Walker & Check-Ins 🐱🐶
I’ve owned and cared for dogs my entire life and understand how important routine, safety, and patience are. I’m comfortable with small and large breeds, high energy dogs, and older dogs who need a slower pace. I prioritize secure leashing, awareness of surroundings, and clear communication with owners. Your dog’s safety and consistency are my top priorities, and I’ll always treat them like my own.
Cat care experience
Melissa also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Safety, trust & environment
I will always prioritize an animal’s needs while also respecting my client’s house hold and rules.I grew up with a special needs dog so animals with strict diets, medications, or needs do not intimidate me. I carry first aid kit and dog repellent with me at all times.

- Please let me know if dog is social or reactive. I want to know how to best protect your dog, myself, and others on our walks. I own a reactive dog so I’m aware of how walks can go. Please also let me know if dog(s) are leash trained, have any allergies, or any specific temperaments.
