Your Dog Will Become Family!
Pet care experience
I am 24 years old and have been a dog sitter since I was in middle school! I love all dogs and own an Australian Shepherd mix and a cat. I am currently living in a house with a partially fenced back yard. I love being outdoors with my dog and I am always taking them to parks, on walks, etc! I have had years of experience around all breeds of dogs and have learned how to properly care for each and every dog! About this sitter: I am 24 years old recent college graduate from Georgia State University! My whole life I have grown up with dogs and even worked at a daycare/boarding facility for four years which is where I learned everything there is to know about how to properly handle and care for a variety of breeds! I truly love all dogs and am just looking for a great summer job where I can continue doing what I love! I have been dog sitting since I was a little kid, but I received the majority of my training from Puppy Tubs B&B, where I worked for four years. I learned the proper care, feedings, how to give medications, etc. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover since I was five years old when I got my first puppy! I now have two other dogs that I raised from puppies and they definitely are a part of the family! My experience administering medication I am comfortable administering medication, and have had training with administering various types of medication at my previous job.
Reviews
We won't use a Kennel anymore! I don't know if it just happened to be the weekend we were gone or if this is how Melanie always takes care of the dogs she watches, but I think our dog was in heaven. Between going to the Dog park and going on hikes, I don't think our dog wanted to come back home... he tried to go back with Melanie vs. come with us! Melanie was very gracious, she was quick to respond, kept us updated with photos of our dog... I don't know what else we could have hoped for or even asked for. I give Melanie my highest recommendation and would refer a friend to her without fear they would be totally happy.
Melanie is an amazingly hard working individual. She's been independent for a long time and she learned the value of a dollar early in life. She takes things very seriously and is a hard-worker and up for any challenge she is given.

Information Melanie V. would like to know about your pet
I would just like to know a bit of background information on the dogs personality, and how they are around other dogs. I do not have any breed preferences.
A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks I will take your dogs for walks on the golf cart paths around Peachtree City. There are tons of golf cart trails right near my house that I walk my dogs on daily! Your dog's sleeping arrangement Most likely I will take your dogs back to your house to sleep, but occasionally I will keep your dogs with me. If they do stay with me at my house I would keep them in my room either in a crate, or on a bed on the ground. Time I'll spend with your dog What I usually do is keep your dogs with me during the day and then take them back to their homes at night. Time I'll spend with your dog As much time as I can! I love taking dogs out to parks, to lakes, on walks, etc so that usually takes up some time! Extra house-sitting services Yes I am willing to do any extra tasks.
