“Our dog Manny loves his walks with Care of the Dogs! He sits by the door waiting for Melissa to arrive and NEVER looks back. Tail is wagging all the way to the car. Comes home a very happy and tired dog! Highly recommend Care of the Dogs…reliable, conscientious and attentive to Manny’s needs.”

— Cathy, Tony & Manny

“Our golden retriever, Lucy, has been walking daily with Melissa for about two years. Melissa always shows up on time, is so loving with Lucy, and tires her out with a full morning of exercise and play with other dogs. The simple sound of Melissa coming to the house to unlock the door each morning is enough for Lucy to run to the door in anticipation of her walk with her furry friends. I highly recommend Care of the Dogs!”

— Clare, Tom & Lucy

Care of the Dogs has been an essential part of our life with Bentley. Melissa is great with exhausting trail walks and creek adventures in the summer. We can’t believe she got him to go into the water! The pack is great and Bentley’s a happy, tired dog.

“Sophie is a naturally shy and timid dog, but since starting her walk with Melissa at 6.5 months we noticed her confidence increased within the first week. She absolutely adores Melissa and loves being with her pals—she gets excited whenever we receive Melissa's text as she equates it to dog walk time! Melissa, you are simply wonderful—thank you for your great love and care for our little brown nose!”

— Karv, Luc & Sophie
