Does your furbaby need a friend?!
Pet care experience
I work in Veterinary Neurology and have over 10 years of experience in the field of veterinary medicine. I love interacting with all kinds of animals. I am certified in canine CPR and first aid. I have experience taking care of dogs who need insulin injections, have various neurological issues or are geriatric and need assistance with medications and multiple trips outside. Of course, that doesn't mean I don't enjoy also caring for young and active dogs. I love being able to strengthen and aid in creating that human-animal bond through interaction - rather that be with a simple walk or a drop-in visit for ear and belly rubs. I enjoy taking my own dogs to the nearby dog park and trails. I consider my own dogs members of my family and I look forward to getting to know (and spoiling) your pet as well.
Reviews
Repeat customer. Again, everything was perfect. Highly recommend.
I felt very comfortable leaving my cat with Melissa - Rascal looked like she had a good time from the check-in visit pictures I received! Melissa also kept me updated on how she was doing on every visit - whether she was extra hungry, playful, etc. Highly recommend- Thanks again Melissa!
I had such an incredible experience with Melissa while I was out of town for a weekend! My dog is a nervous puppy sometimes with strangers and she was so amazing with him. I received multiple pictures at every visit and even some videos! She was timely and spent a great amount of time with him. She also watched my two rabbits while I was gone. They were so happy! I felt so comfortable with her in my home. I highly recommend her and I will definitely use her again the next time I need a puppy sitter. :)
It's great knowing that someone is looking out for your babies like it's their own. Thank you, Melissa!

Newark Street Dog Park, the National Cathedral and Rock Creek Parkway are favorite walking and play areas near me. Wylie Wag is a great pit stop for some dog cookies.
