About Melissa

Experience: 3 yrs

SMALL DOGS 35 POUNDS OR LESS I learned to love dogs through my Maltese, who was my best friend and the love of my life for almost 11 years. He had significant health needs from the time I rescued him as a puppy, and caring for him taught me what real attentiveness looks like -- not just supervision, but genuine awareness of an animal's comfort, routine, and needs at every moment. I offer dog walking and in-home pet sitting at your home, both overnight and during the day. Your pet's safety always comes first: no off-leash surprises, no unsupervised run-ins with other animals, eyes on them at all times. Beyond that, I focus on keeping them happy and comfortable -- following your exact routines and training habits, so nothing changes for them but the company. Your pet will be safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care.
