Erika has been with WAGS Charlestown since March of 2016. Her Jack Russell Terrier, Louie is the love of her life and the inspiration to share her love for him with your furry family members. Louie has taught Erika the unconditional love that animals have to give and their ability to completely change ones outlook on their lives. She spent the previous 15+ years working in sales after graduating from the University of Connecticut and decided that 2016 was the year she was going to make a change both personally and professionally! Joining WAGS Charlestown has given Erika the ability to share her love for pups, her love for the outdoors and the ability to give back to the community through supporting local business and most importantly, ensuring other pups are spoiled like her own when the owners can’t be home. Exercise, playtime and affection are the keys to happy, healthy fur-friends. She thanks you for allowing her into your homes and providing the trust to share her love for Louie with your furry family members.

Melanie has been with WAGS Charlestown since September of 2015. She moved to Boston with the original intention of going to MassArt, but after some time realized that it wasn't quite the right fit for her. As much as she loved making art, she was always an animal lover as well. Seeing all the dogs walking around the beautiful city of Boston always brightened her day, so she decided to try her hand working with dogs and has loved it since day one. Though she has owned cats her whole life, she loves dogs just as much. (She loves her bunny, Bigby, the most though!
