Active dog lover!

Pet care experience

I am extremely active - I enjoy long walks/runs, playing unlimited fetch, and tug of war. I’m more than happy to provide your pet the stimulus they need! Don’t worry though - I am also very affectionate, I love giving scratches and snuggles as well!

Melissa is the best! You can tell she truly enjoys animals, my dogs respond so well to her. Melissa is a great communicator and is super reliable. She is so patient and always pleasant, seriously don't know what we'd do without her.

Melissa is an excellent pet sitter. She visited our home several times a day to care for our 7 year old golden retriever, Rambo. I will 100% be utilizing her during our next family vacation.

Melissa has watched my 3 dogs on several different occasions, but most recently in September when I gave birth. She was excellent and made me worry free, so I could focus on being a new momma. She followed my care instructions perfectly and my dogs love her!

Information Melissa W. would like to know about your pet

It’s crucial to know if the pets are sociable with other animals or if they have any special medical conditions. Being aware of their social behavior helps in planning routes and managing encounters during walking, while knowledge of medical conditions ensures I can provide the necessary care and attention during the walk or drop in visit, keeping their health and safety a top priority.

A typical day

I prioritize the well-being of the pets I watch by engaging in activities like daily walks, interactive play sessions, and ensuring a safe and stimulating environment. I believe in maintaining a balance between exercise, mental stimulation, and cuddle time for happy and healthy pets.
