"Your Dog Is My Baby."

Pet care experience

I love dogs and have had them all my life. I have a Shar pie named Chloe who are my baby! I enjoy spending my free time with her, walking in the park or taking her on hikes around Williamsburg or just playing with her in our apartment. We just recently moved to Virginia from New Jersey where I used this service all the time. I sat dogs with Rover for over a year and hope to continue here in Williamsburg. I am responsible, caring, hard working, and have almost 7 years of dog sitting experience, both big and small dogs. If you choose me to watch your babies, then I will love them like my baby! Sent me a text and we can chat about your needs.

Melissa agreed to watch our dog for the first time for over a week during a holiday! She is easy to communicate with and her home was spacious for our dog. She comes home at lunch so that was an added plus. We appreciated her and our dog came home content and peaceful. We will definitely be calling her again.

Melissa was great! Quick to respond to my booking request and texts during Molly's stay. Molly was nice and relaxed when we picked her up too, which is always a good sign :-). Thanks Melissa!
