Dog Walking Pico

About: I’ve always had a love of animals, and been in close quarters with both cats and dogs early in my life, which i found to be incredibly beneficial for me. I have experience taking care of dogs of all sizes, from a grumpy miniature pinscher to a deaf pit bull, with medication routines and environmental needs. While much of my experience with caring for dogs is with older dogs, my forever dog Roxy was not always a senior dog and in her younger years she was a 65+ pound pittie mix. I love taking dogs around the neighborhood and letting them set the pace, and if necessary I can carry a pretty heavy dog, in case of a splinter in a paw or a mean dog. I like to keep animals out of the sun during the hottest part of the day, and try to make sure that they have enough time/daylight to work out all the excitement. I also take medication, so when caring for a dog who also needs medication, I like to take mine with them. I work part-time as a botanical assistant and artist, so my hours are irregular, but thus allow quite a bit of time for me to care for animals during the day. Im big with cuddly animals, they often find me very approachable and sweet when i interact with them. My own animals are rather skiddish around strangers, so I tend to try and assess each animal by their body language, if it’s a jumpy and exited animal, I will greet them with a similar energy and love up on them, if they are a bit more shy I will get on their level, and wait for them to initiate. I only feel comfortable if my friend is, that when I know we will get along great.

About: I’ve gained petsitting experience through helping out friends and family with their dogs. I’ve walked, fed, and provided playtime with these dogs. I’ve learned how to handle dogs with different personalities that range from low to high energy. I’m a student and currently on summer break. I don’t have a job, so I have full availability for pet sitting and dog walking. In my clients home, I respect their space while making sure their dog/s can feel comfortable with their usual routine. I make sure to maintain a clean environment as well.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life including large dogs, small dogs, rabbits, ferrets, hamsters, lizards, and cats/kittens. Now as an adult I have 2 hilarious little pugs, who are my whole world. I have experience caring for senior dogs, puppies, and dogs with various health issues that require medication. I am currently a stay at home mom and home all week, so you can trust that your fur baby will never be left alone while you’re away! Due to already having 2 of my own dogs, I will only accept one additional dog at a time (or 2 if from the same family.) because of this, you can rest assured that your dog will not be around other pets that you are not aware of, and I will also be able to devote my time and energy to your fur baby.

“Leo seemed to like Melissa. Looking forward to her walking him again.”
