Can't wait to love your dog:)
Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Melanie and I live in the Del Ray/Alexandria area. I truly have compassion for all animals. Dogs, in particular, have a special place in my heart. I adopted my dear Ziggy from a local rescue several years ago, but he unfortunately passed away this year after losing a battle with heart disease. Missing a furry family member can be hard, but the possibility of helping to care for your pup and share my love with them makes me SO EXCITED! I've had pets since childhood and showered my four-legged boy with affection for six awesome years. I currently volunteer at a local animal shelter and have taken training on dog-language, to ensure I know what your dog is trying to communicate. Whether that be joy or stress, I'll know how to best care for your pup. There is nothing you will need to worry about while your little one is with me. I'd love to hear from you and answer any questions you might have. During their stay, I would be happy to send pictures and videos upon request. Happy sitter searching. I hope to meet you and your dog soon! Drop off for boarding begins at 3:30 on Fridays and pick up is typically by 9pm, but I am flexible if needed.
Reviews
Melanie was great! She took care of our energetic Troy overnight on short notice. The process went so smoothly that it was seamless. It was evident that Troy definitely enjoyed his stay! Melanie also took the time to send us a couple of updates and pictures of Troy during his stay. We will definitely use Melanie in the future!
Melanie continues to be our favorite dogsitter! When an unexpected house-related issue came up while we were gone, she was gracious, patient, and helpful and helped our pups to stay calm and cared-for. We love her!
Melanie did a great job with our dogs while we were out of town. I loved getting photos each day and she followed our instructions exactly!
Melanie is a ray of sunshine for my pup! Lucy had a great time. Melanie is very thorough and gave me plenty of updates to ease my mind. I will always trust my pup with her. Thank you for taking such great care of my Lucy.
