Melissa’s Manageable Mutts

Specialties

I offer dog walking, doggie day care, and pet sitter service for residents of Eliot, Kittery, York, The Berwicks, the Portsmouth area and for those who are visiting us.

I cater to all breeds of dogs and understand that each pet has his or her own needs to be happy and healthy.

History

Established in 2010.

Hello! My name is Melissa Magdziasz. I live in Eliot, Maine with my husband Tom and our three dogs. Growing up on a dairy farm in CT, I have been taking care of animals since I can remember. For many years during high school I was involved with 4-​H which brought sheep, goats, horses, rabbits, pigs, and chickens into my life. My family always had a dog but I’ve been a solo dog owner since getting out of college and really appreciate the simple happiness my pets have given me. Dog walking and pet sitting started out as a weekend gig years ago I did once in a while, but now it’s become a way of life for me and I couldn’t be happier. With the amount of positive feedback I was receiving from clients I took a leap of faith and left my sales and marketing job to follow my passion and haven’t looked back since.

Business Owner

I know from personal experience how hard it can be to find someone reliable to take care of your pets. I realize you aren’t only going to be trusting me with them but sometimes with your home as well — and I take that responsibility seriously. I discovered that not every place I traveled to was pet friendly and that boarding my dogs was both expensive for me and stressful for them. And sometimes plans had to change when I couldn’t find a friend to help out. I want to help anyone in a situation where work is running longer than their pet’s bladder may allow — for those weekend getaways where the hotel manager doesn’t understand that your dog won’t bark all day — and because sometimes waking up too early on vacation to let the dog out shouldn’t be in the plans.
