Dog Loving Law Student-Mt Vernon

Pet care experience

I love animals! I grew up on 10 acres in South Carolina with dogs, cats, horses, and goats. I've had dogs my whole life, but as a student at Georgetown Law I know I don't have the time to adopt a puppy of my own. Pet sitting and dog walking is the perfect way to relieve stress, exercise, and bond with dogs until I am able to adopt my own! You will not be disappointed with my services! I'm very patient with all dogs and understand each one has its own personality. I know some dogs (including my own) won't go potty unless their walker is on the grass with them, some dogs want to greet every dog and person they see on the sidewalk, some dogs prefer to find a shady spot and hangout away from all the strangers for a while, etc. I hope to get the chance to get to know your dog in the near future! I will watch puppies, but not under 7-8 mos. Drop off & pick up times: 8am-10pm ONLY

We left our French bulldog with Melissa for a week while we were traveling. She took fantastic care of our dog. We received daily updates, photos, even a video or two. Melissa was understanding and responsive to our worries/anxieties about leaving her. Lola seemed to love her time there! Wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.

Melissa is great. She is always on time and makes sure to send pictures and let us know how our pup is doing. Definitely plan to use her again in the future.

Boarding with Melissa was a pleasure. She was very flexible, accommodating, and great with our dog. She sent regular photo and video updates, which we appreciated. Would recommend to anyone in the DC area.

Melissa is positive, responsible, and reliable. I know this because despite the fact that my dog might be kind of afraid of most things, she's willing to use Melissa as a protective fortress. I know that when I have perculiar requests she can easily accommodate. The updates and videos are great and make me smile.
