About Melissa
Hello
I'm Mel, 28 years old, and I am here to share my love and time with your furry friend.
I graduated Animal Care school in Belgium and was a teacher in the same school for 5 years. I taught students how to take care, groom and train dogs. I studied for doggroomer and have a degree in 'doghotel'.
In Belgium I also was a foster mom for cats for a well know catshelter that only works with foster families. I raised kittens and adult cats, treated their sickness, socialised them and made them ready to find their forever home.
My house currently doesn't give the opportunity to board dogs but I am self employed and have lots of time to walk your lovely friend and even stay with them in your house to play and cuddle for a while if needed.
I have an Alaskan Malamute named Odin who is 4 years old. We are training a lot to get him less reactive towards other dogs since he has had a few bad experiences sadly. Every day it gets a bit better! Your dog will never walk or meet Odin, safety of both mine and your dog is number 1.
My rules:
• Greeting dogs on the leash is not safe since I don't know the other dog and don't want to risk the safety of yours.
• Walks can be whatever type you want it to be: A sniffari, a little training walk if they need to learn how to walk without pulling, long walks, short walks,...
• meet me first, walk later! I want you to feel like your dog is in good hands. I gladly come over to meet you before I take care of your friend.
See you soon!
