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 currently work at The Dog Park in Old Town, Alexandria. You are more than welcome to set up up an online appointment directly. I am also able to offer transportation for your pup, to and from their grooming appointment. 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.

Melina is amazing! I trusted her with my cat Goemi many times. She goes way above and beyond to keep me posted on how Goemi is doing, and I never needed to worry. I measure other cat sitters against how well Melina did for my furball.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Prices will vary based on coat type, services requested and whether any additional services are needed such as pick up/drop off and daycare for the day. Please reach out for a more detailed quote.
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
