Their happiness is my happiness!

Pet care experience

Hi there! Thank you for considering me for taking care of your wonderful companion. A little about me is my first best friend was my great Great Dane, Blue. He stuck by my side as an infant and toddler, protecting and keeping me company. I’ve loved all 4 cats and 5 dogs (2 Danes, 1 German Shepard, 1 Pitbull mix, & 1 Miniature Pug) that I’ve grown up with in my household. I know have 2 of my own fur babies Nala 🐕 & Kuzco 🐈. I look forward to helping you with my in client-house drop ins and occasional over nights, dog walking, and endless affection. Tell me what you look for in a care giver and I will try my hardest to exceed your expectations. I’m extremely reliable and trustworthy, after meeting me I know you’ll feel the same way!

Melissa is a true dog lover and I would trust her with my own dog. She is great with all animals. She is very responsible, kind, loving and compassionate. You would have no worries leaving your dog with her!

Melissa is a kind and loving friend - to both humans and dogs! I know Melissa quite well and in various facets of life. She was my roommate, my coworker and a reliable walker and sitter for my furry best friend, Rue. Rue is a very active puppy - she loves to play and run at all hours of the day. Melissa handled this kind of energy with ease and formed a close bond with Rue quite quickly. Melissa is responsible and communicative: she will keep you informed about how your furry buddy is doing. Melissa is adaptable and energetic: she can bond with any sort of dog and make them feel loved. Melissa is kind and trustworthy: your puppy will be in the best of hands! I highly recommend your reach out to Melissa for your dog's next walk or sitting!

From a young age Melissa has loved dogs - especially larger breeds. She grew up with Great Danes, German Shepherds and Labrador Retrievers. She has both dog sat for others and has been a dog owner. She gravitates towards dogs whenever possible. She would make a great dog sitter.

We are in the middle of closing on a house and our first project will be putting up a fence. My dog Nala loves to play and relax with all dogs and so does my cat Kuzco! Whenever we leave Nala is kenneled- she loves having her uninterrupted nap times :)

Information Melissa W. would like to know about your pet

How is their temperament and what should I avoid doing that may upset them? Are they good with other dogs and people they’ve never met? Or are they better to be in an environment without other animals?

A typical day

I love to go on walks or runs! Playing fetch and sun tanning is a huge hit at our house. We also can snuggle up and watch some movies together!
