Loving care when you're not there!
Pet care experience
**Proud to announce I am now certified in Pet CPR, First Aid & Care by PetTech** My name is Melisse and l would love to take care of your dog while you are away! I love having dogs around me, they are the best companions. I also understand how difficult it is when you have to leave them for a little while (going to work) or for a longer while (vacation). This is where I come in. I am a trustworthy, experienced and caring dog lover, and your dog will have a safe, loving and fun stay with me! Ever since I was little I've always loved and cared for all different kinds of animals. My friends all know me as the dog girl. I'm not ashamed to admit at least 50% of my camera roll is photos of dogs that may not even be mine. I have fostered and volunteered for the SPCA of Wake County from 2010 - present and have gained so much knowledge in taking care of many diverse dogs and cats. Whenever someone finds a dog or cat, I'm the first person they call and I always step up to help out in whatever way I can. I've learned all about animal behavior over the years, both on my own and from volunteering at the shelter, and have come to appreciate their quirks and embrace them instead of shying away like we may be expected to. While in my care, your pooch is pampered. Whatever your house rules are will be followed exactly. If your dog walks six times per day, we'll go on six walks! I always enjoy taking dogs to the park, so if you're comfortable with that, off we go! I'll be sure to send pictures and videos of our adventures. They'll also be loved on and given plenty of attention and cuddles. Their normal routine will be followed to the T so they don't get stressed and miss their mom or dad too much! Coming from that place of a loving owner and equipped with 10 years of working with pets, I would love nothing more than to watch your dog. I'm prepared to work with you every step of the way for any special circumstances as well. (And send you lots of pictures of them while you're away!)
Reviews
Melisse was absolutely incredible and I would highly recommend her services. I'm not ashamed to say I'm a bit overprotective with my dog and this was not only my first time leaving him with someone whom I didn't already know, but he became sick shortly before my trip and needless to say I initially felt very uneasy leaving him in someone else's care. However from the moment I dropped him off and met with Melisse, I could tell that he was in great hands and this was a huge weight off my shoulders. She was great with communication, giving daily updates with pictures and detailed accounts of what he did each day, how his symptoms from his illness were improving, how he did with taking his medications, etc. She is obviously very experienced with all types of dogs but she provided very personalized care and I could tell she genuinely enjoyed my dog's company and cared for him like he was her own. I plan on working with Melisse again and will absolutely consider her my priority whenever my dog needs to be boarded in the future. 10/10 would recommend.
Amazing job as usual thanks so much for taking care of our babies!
Melisse was GREAT! I would trust her in my home with my furr babies any time. I'm sad I moved out of Raleigh and do not have her to come care for them when I'm away! Next time in Raleigh and I need the service, she will be the first I contact!
She was wonderful and so attentive and nurturing to our elderly dog- thank you!!

Information Melisse V. would like to know about your pet
*MUST get a long with babies!* I love any breed of dog. I don't shy away from any size, breed, or age. Volunteering at a shelter has taught me a lot about each breed and helped me learn how to break the stigma associated with certain breeds. Dogs have quirks and that should be embraced. If your pet has any medications/allergies or triggers (fear of large crowds, anxious in a car, afraid of men, medical issues, etc.) I would like to know so I can make sure we're always in an environment where your pooch is 100% comfortable.
