Pet care experience
I've had dogs my whole life since I was a toddler and through my adulthood. I truly love caring for dogs and am a big advocate of exercise. A tired dog is a happy dog, so lots of walking and running to help tire out a pup is my goal. I've watched my girlfriend’s dog during COVID when they had to go to work and I worked remotely. I've also watched my girlfriends’ dogs over long weekends when they have gone on vacation. This is in addition to having my own dogs, a golden retriever most recently for that past 13 years as well as a chocolate lab, American bulldog and Pit/Lab mix. I truly love dogs, forming a bond and providing optimal care is what i do best. I do tend to spoil the pups. :) I love cats too! I have availability to care for dogs primarily on the weekends for boarding including Fri and Sat and every other Sunday. I do work full time in Lancaster but live in Dover, PA. I’m off every other Monday and will take off Fridays here and there. I do have time for dog walking at 6 p.m. and after during the week on Tuesday and Thursday and every other Monday. I am also available for dog walking Saturday and Sunday as well. I am available for drop in visits every other Monday and during the weekend on Saturday and Sunday. I live in a dog friendly apartment community with nice walking paths and I'm close to local parks and an adjoining neighborhood to walk dogs. I do have a large crate to crate dogs when necessary.
Reviews
Melissa was a pleasure to work with. Professional, friendly, kind. She watched my two dogs and I asked them about their time w her and they both have her a 5-paw rating. Actually Mickey gave her a 5-paw+ rating but I had to explain that doesn’t exist.
Melissa has a passion for animals that is easy to witness. She provides the best care to her dogs and is a huge advocate of animal care and safety. Melissa makes her dogs a priority and provides a variety of activities as an option for exercise whether it be going to the dog park, swimming, lots of walks and play time with other dogs. Melissa is the ideal sitter for anyone looking for a reputable dog sitter. I highly recommend Melissa!!!
Melissa would be a wonderful pet caregiver. She loves animals and would take excellent care of anyone’s pets. She is very conscientious, reliable and trusting person and would be extremely careful with any pets she is in charge of.
Melissa has such a love for dogs! As friends and former neighbor, I’ve had her watch my pup many times and she absolutely loves her! Melissa loves playing and cuddling with dogs and has been a loving dog owner to her fur babies too.

Safety of your pet is my #1 priority. I will be attentive to your dog and cat if they are staying with me in my home.

Information Melissa V. would like to know about your pet
I definitely would want to know of any unusual behaviors or medical issues. I would want to know if the dog has a history of aggression or biting and would need to know if the dog is friendly with other dogs.
A typical day
I have a great neighborhood to walk dogs in and have access to adjoining neighborhoods to take dogs for walks as well. I know of dog parks and hiking parks to go to as well if that is something the customer is interested in.
