We don’t blame them, we train them!
Pet care experience
For the last 12 years, I have been working to understand dogs and be the best pet parent I could be for my dogs. Some of my dogs, were at times very challenging. In order to achieve our goals, we began to study under the guidance of a master trainer 8 years ago. Recently, I purchased a property in Sebastopol and made the decision to pursue dog care, training and boarding as a business. I look forward to assisting you in being the best pet parent you can be for your fur-child.
Reviews
Melissa impresses us constantly with her level of care and professionalism, we love her!
Melissa was incredible with our 5 month old puppy, Rocky! It was our first time leaving Rocky and I couldn’t have felt more comfortable with Melissa. She is very communicative, understands dogs very well, and helped train our pup. I look forward to booking again with Melissa in the future!
You’re amazing, thank you so much!
Melissa is always a great walker!

Safety, trust & environment
My prerogative is the safety, comfort and fulfillment of your animal above all else. While sitting in your home, we will work together to ensure that these values are maintained at the highest level. Reinforcing a similar structure you have in place as well as fulfillment system for your animal is the best way for us to ensure success.

Information Melissa W. would like to know about your pet
In our initial 10-15 minute phone consultation or paid walk or meet and greet, we will discuss such things as follows; the dog’s current level of socialization and training, the types of leash or collar you prefer they are walked with, locations where they may enjoy being walked or the ways in which you prefer them to be exercised. Medical needs and dietary specifications are of utmost importance to discuss ahead of time, as well as any behaviors they exhibit that may be challenging and require training or management to successfully overcome. Let us ensure that we are the proper fit from the start so that we may have a successful long term working relationship together.
A typical day
Typically, the dog will be pottied and exercised first thing in the morning and last thing in the evening. Additionally, I am available to provide mid-day excursions to anywhere that your dog may prefer depending on their current level of training and socialization. As always, safety and fulfillment of your animal is my goal, and listening carefully to your needs is of utmost importance.
