RN full time,dog sitter part time❤️

Pet care experience

Hello! I am a nurse practitioner in the city. I moved to the DMV 7 years ago and I love dogs! I have been pet sitting since I was a teenager for a Westie and a Standard Poodle in my neighborhood. My family rescued two dogs in 2012; a Lab mix and a Terrier mix, whom we have loved ever since. I worked with Rover between for a few years before starting graduate school. We got our pup Una in 2021.

Melissa was super helpful when I needed someone to drop in and feed/walk my dog one especially long work day. She followed all the instructions I left her, and was responsive and professional. Would book again; definitely recommend!

Melissa was great! She was prompt to respond and made me feel comfortable immediately! She definitely helped easing my anxiety about leaving Louie at home for the first time!

Melissa was wonderful! From the moment we began interacting, I was impressed with her professionalism, responsiveness and unwavering love for dogs. She took great care of our 2 month old puppy Chip and we're hoping to work with her again for many future walks to come! Thanks Melissa!

Information Melissa D. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know your pets likes and dislikes. I would also like to know what commands I can expect them to follow, where they are allowed to roam in your home, what rewards you give for good behavior, and the best place to take them to the bathroom. I would prefer small or medium breed.
