Fredericksburg Melissa Dog Walking @ Fredericksburg

Hi, my name is Melissa. I have three dogs; Kana, Mochi and Iji. I have been pet sitting and helping out with animals for 20 years.
Being able to help owners out with their pets and being able to keep that relationship happy is very fulfilling. it is very upsetting to see how many pets are turned in because their parents do not have time. I feel like I am doing my part to help prevent that from occuring.
I have three dogs. All are rescues from Okinawa Japan. Kana is my oldest, she is 12 years old. She has a lot of skin issues that we have had to deal with her whole life.
Mochi is my middle dog and she is 8 or 9. She is a Ryukyu Ken mix. She is our spoiled pup.
Iji is our youngest, around 4 years old. She is a Ryukyu Ken.

Growing up I have had dogs. a few of my dogs have had skin issues, one of my dogs is epileptic. I am used to giving pets medication and dealing social issues.
