Introduction

Hello and welcome to my profile. My name is Melina and I have been working with animals since 2016. I started out as a dog walker/pet sitter, became a trainer in 2019 and received my grooming certificate in 2023. I offer an assortment of options for all coat types and breeds: deshedding treatments, full service grooms, neet and tidy grooms as well as baths. I look forward to working with you and please reach out with any questions. Melina

This was the first time getting my dog trimmed but Melina asked lots of good questions to assure she groomed our terrier mix to our liking. She finished the job 15-30 minutes faster than anticipated and we picked up a nice smelling and looking pet wearing a natty Pride bandanna.

I was looking on this site for someone to help me in a pinch and you were able to help at the last minute. In addition, you took such great care of my dogs, sent me adorable pictures and video and really took the time to make sure you were taking care of my dogs the way I wanted them cared for. Seriously above and beyond! I am no longer worried about overnight work trips. Thank you!

Details: Dog • 2 pets • Giving food and water • Taking pet outside • Providing companionship • Providing exercise • Dispensing medication • Collect mail • Overnight visit (10-12 hours) • Two times a day • The pet sitter travels to me

Melina is great. Had her come for a finicky dog and two cats. They were very happy with her administrations and we loved her daily messages and pictures. Very professional.

Melina came over to meet my dog before I hired her. She was timely and kept me in the loop when she walked my dog. I will definitely hire her again.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Prices will vary based on coat type, services requested and length of grooming time.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I always start with online communication and then a phone call. It’s important to know what services you are looking for, find out a little more about your pup and make sure your pup has a current Rabies vaccination.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I received my certificate of Pet Tech from The Paragon School of Pet Grooming
