Pet care experience
Hi!! My name is Merissa D and I love animals!!! I foster dogs and cats from the shelters and from the streets with though several rescues. I'm available to have your animal at my home in Lancaster anytime, someone is always at home to watch ur baby. I have a big back yard that they can run in and they will be taken on walks every afternoon or I can come over and drop by, take him or her for a walk, feed and love on them or stay overnight any time Friday through Monday. Don't worry about the long drive, I will drive the distance to take care of your furbaby. Just let me know. Thank you for your consideration and have a great day.
Reviews
I left my dog Maya (female mixed Pitbull) with Merissa and her boyfriend. I have no complaints and appreciated the communication (pics, texts) while I was out of town. I can read my dog's energy very well and she went into complete happy/freedom/fun mode as soon as she walked into Merissa's home. I will be using Merissa again and you should too - she's good people and more importantly, good dog people♥.
Merissa was incredibly sweet and helped us so much when she agreed to take our pups last minute. She was very communicative throughout their stay, and I thought I would give them a great review, but when I came to pick the pups up I found out she hadn’t been communicative about the most important thing. Without my consent, both of my dogs were fed a 1/2lb each of raw meat an hour or so before I picked them up. Merissa warned they might have diarrhea, which was the understatement of the century. Her partner (who did the meat feeding) said he gave them some oil to “coat their stomachs”, so “they should be fine.” They’re not fine. Twenty four hours later and I am still cleaning up oily, explosive diarrhea around the house. I don’t understand how someone could be so communivative about things like where they’d put the dog beds, but not have the foresight to ask if feeding the dogs a massive amount of raw meat was ok with me. I really liked Merissa and wanted to be able to give her a good review, but the explosive diarrhea necessitates that I do otherwise.
Ophelia had so much fun with Merissa - going on walks, running at the dog park, playing with her other sweet pups. It was also nice that I was able to enjoy this as well through the pictures and videos she sent. I would definitely recommend her, and would use her again in a heart beat.

I have no breed preference. How often do they get fed? Are they crate trained? Are they leash trained?
