Certified dog trained & volunteer
Pet care experience
I am a certified dog trainer with 4 yrs experience, a professional pet sitter and dog walker. I volunteer at the humane society grooming and training the dogs to get them ready for their fur ever home. Having dogs in your life is a calming experience and everyone should enjoy the bond between their animals. I couldn't ask for a better companion than having my two boys in my life. I pride myself that my clients have the peace of mind that when they are away, their fur babies are being treated as if they were one of my own. Please visit my Facebook page Hitching Post Pet Services and Instagram as well. My true passion is caring for animals and dogs. I love dogs

I began working with Melissa immediately after my husband and I adopted a very frightened and moderately-trained dog from the Humane Society. Melissa was a god-send to us during that time as she taught us how to understand our dog's reactions to various things, and she helped us train Sky in a way that also allowed Sky to enjoy herself, and come out of her shell. We have another dog and both dogs absolutely love being around her. She also grooms our dogs, and she is first on our list of pet sitters. I could not find a better pet-friend for my fur-babies if I tried. I recommend her to everyone for any dog-care needs that you have.
Melissa Roberto is an amazing dog trainer and sitter. Although sitter does not actually describe her. She is more of a caregiver than a sitter. She loves the dogs that she is entrusted and treats them with the love and support that they would receive from their owner in their absence. She is a dog lover and is the proud owner of three dogs. She doesn't consider herself their owner but more of their protector, their champion. Any one leaves their dog in her care can be assured that they will be care for and treated as her own. She has always been compassionate about animals from the time she was a young girl and knew that she wanted to be around animals namely dogs. She is doing what she was meant to.
Ever since I've known Melissa, she has been a dog lover and owner. Over the years, she has displayed the most love, affection, and responsibility for not only her dogs, but every dog she has ever come across. Melissa is a certified groomer and trainer. She has been volunteering at an animal shelter for several years. She has had the opportunity and good fortune to be involved in saving the lives of animals and getting them adopted into good families. Melissa was actually the one who found our dog, Sammie. He was abandoned and living outside in a complex when he was found. She took him in, bathe and groomed him, and took him to the vet to make sure he was okay. We have had Sammie in our lives for exactly 2 years now and couldn't imagine our lives without him, and it's all because of Melissa. She is a wonderful person who loves dogs more than anything.
Missy is a dependable, trustworthy, kind, animal-loving person of integrity. We met her at The Florida Humane Society - where Missy was the big dog trainer and walker - when we adopted our first rescue two years ago. Knowing that Missy is watching my fur-babies while we are out of town gives me peace of mind that they are being treated with the love, respect and being played with. I highly recommend Missy is you need a good person to take care of your doggies.

Information Melissa R. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know the age, breed of the dogs and if they are up to date on vaccinations. Also if there is any need for medicine or health care issues that I need to be aware of. I have taken care of senior dogs before and made the necessary adjustments for them.
A typical day
Dogs will enjoy walks around the lake. Playing with my three dogs, two Yorkies and one Maltese. They have a basket of toys to choose from to take up some of their time. And their is a few dog parks that we can go to as well.
