FAQs
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Before starting any service with Melissa’s Dog Walking, we will schedule an initial meet and greet to personalize your pet service plan - this is free of charge. The meet & greet allows us the time to sit and talk about the specific needs of your pet(s). You will have the chance to orient me to the routines and pet related needs in your home. We ask that you have a copy of your key ready for us at the meet & greet. We cannot wait to start helping you give your loved ones the time and attention they need when you are out!
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am Dog and Cat CPR/FA certified. I also volunteer my time at the Charleston Animal Society caring for shelter dogs and cats. I have 30 years of experience caring for animals (mine and my friend’s pets) and I have owned a dog most of my life. I am caring, compassionate, and reliable.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I am an animal lover for life, always have been. We have used and provided pet sitting and dog walking services for the past 20 years. I love the outdoors and taking care of others, especially the most vulnerable. Taking care of animals makes me happy and I love it!
