Dear Friends,
After a lot of thought (and more than a few tears), I’m writing to let you know that I’ve closed my dog walking business. All current clients know already but this might reach the ones that have moved or haven’t got their new pet yet.
For the past 12 years, you trusted me with something incredibly precious—your fur-babies. That trust has meant everything to me. What started as a job quickly became a calling, and then a community. Your pets weren’t just clients; they were part of my daily life, my routine, my stories, and my heart.
I am so deeply grateful for every early morning walk, muddy paw print, happy tail wag, and meows for food. Thank you for the notes, the conversations at the door, the flexibility, the kindness, and for sharing your amazing pets with me. I already miss them more than I can say.
This goodbye is bittersweet. I’m proud of the years we spent together, and I’ll carry these memories with me always. Please know how much I appreciate each and every one of you—and give your pets an extra hug from me.
With heartfelt thanks and so much love,
Melissa Morris
