About Melissa
Hi there!
My name is Melissa and I am currently in Australia for my semester abroad. Back home in Germany, I have a wonderful 5-year-old dog who I miss dearly every single day. Since I have grown up with dogs my entire life, a home doesn't quite feel like a home without a wagging tail and a cold nose to greet me.
I am not just a casual pet lover; I bring a high level of experience and responsibility to the table. I have successfully completed professional training with a medium-sized dog and earned my official "dog license" (Hundeführerschein), which involved demonstrating my ability to handle various situations safely and calmly. Back home, I am also very active in dog sports, specifically Agility. This means I understand how to provide both the physical exercise and the mental stimulation that different breeds require to stay happy and balanced.
Regarding my services, I am very flexible! My walks usually last between 1 to 2 hours, depending on your dog’s energy level and needs. I am available every single day, including Sundays and weekends. During the week, my university schedule varies, but I am often free early in the morning and can coordinate specific times with you to fit your routine perfectly. During a home visit, I prioritize safety and routine, ensuring your pet feels comfortable and secure in their own environment. Should an emergency or unexpected situation arise, my years of experience allow me to stay calm and act decisively to ensure your pet’s well-being.
I am incredibly excited to meet your four-legged family members and help you out while I’m staying here in Australia. I look forward to hearing from you!
