History
Established in 2020.
I’m Melissa Gibbs, owner and operator of Melissa’s Dog Walking, born and raised in Charleston, SC. This past year our 12 year old boy, Thunder Dogg, passed away and it has been sad without him. I don't remember a time when there wasn't a family pet in the house. (dogs, cats, fish, birds, ducks, turtles, rabbits, snails...) You get the picture! I fell in love at the very young age of 13 to a big, blonde, handsome young Lab named Spike. He followed me to college and we bought our first house together. He was my boy, my companion, my teacher, and he is the reason I love dogs. After graduating from Appalachian State University, I moved to Asheville, NC and I began a 15 year career in Human Services. My husband and I had our son and a year later we moved back to Charleston. We wanted our family close by to help us raise our child. Your pets deserve love and attention even when you can't be there, so let me help you!
