Reviews
Melissa was superb! Very professional, easy to work with, and she took great care of our cat. Definitely recommend her!
Rover and Melissa can do it all! I used her services to walk Toby since my regular dog walker was on vacation. She was game, even on short notice and I'm thankful! Toby was happy to see her and I didn't have to worry. We keep coming back, she's great!
Meanwhile, 5 stays later, Melissa is still Toby's favorite sitter!
Hendricks had a great time!
About Melissa W.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I live with 2 medium size dogs and a cat, so I am unable to take care of pets that are not well adjusted to / are aggressive towards other animals. My fur-babes are my children, so they are allowed on furniture, and have access to the entire house. I like to maintain a clean, calm, and consistent/structured environment for my pets, including making sure that there is always access to fresh water and comfy, temperate spots to relax (my pups particularly love lounging on my bed or next to the window) and consistent feeding (2x/day) and walking schedules.
Information Melissa W. would like to know about your pet
It is important to know whether your dog is crate and/or house trained, whether they have been socialized with other animals (dogs and cats) and if they have any medical needs (mental or physical) that should be considered.
A typical day
I love to stimulate your dog(s) mentally and physically so I will play with toys with them in the house, and take them for walks and to the Patterson Park dog park if that is ok with you!

Availability
I’m currently working from home 3 out of 5 days a week, offering me the flexibility and availability to give your pet lots of attention, love, and walks! My resident fur-babes (2 med size dogs and 1 cat) are well socialized and excellent with other dogs. They are always very excited to meet a new friend! My pups typically enjoy 4 15-min walks per day and 3-5 45-60min visits to the dog park per week. I am happy to include your pup into our daily/weekly routines or adjust, per owner’s preference.
