Pet care experience

Hello! Like many of you I seek the best care for my pup, Bruno. I've gone over and beyond finding the best boarders, groomers, food and vet for my guy! I would love to do the same for your four legged family member! I have been an elementary school educator for over 10+ years but, love hanging with the furry creatures during the evenings and weekends! I believe in well-trained dogs and will work with your dog on socialization, doggie etiquette and even some tricks. I use treats, love and patience to train animals and love to offer tips to willing owners. I can provide a consistent routine for your pets while you're away. I will be available full time in Richmond, VA and part time in Fayetteville, NC.

Melissa truly has a way with animals. My dog tends to be very shy and nervous around new people, but she instantly warmed to Melissa when she first walked in the door. Melissa is very responsible and punctual. I have no problem whatsoever trusting her with the keys to my place and the care of my dog.

Mel is the best dog sitter ever. She goes above and beyond just a dog walker. If you want your pup in the best hands definitely go with her. I’ve been using the Service for a while and she is definitely one of if not the best out.
