8+ yrs professional experience

Pet care experience

In search of an experienced professional you can trust with your pet? Look no further! I am a trained handler and have worked with dogs since I was a teenager. I am certified in Animal Behavior and currently am working toward becoming a certified trainer. Whether you have a dog who is hesitant with strangers, reactive on leash, or if you just want the highest quality pet care around, I am here to help. Besides dogs, I also adore cats and own a couple myself. In addition, I have cared for rabbits, lizards, you name it. I was even the keeper for a gorilla and an orangutan! All species are loved and welcome here <3

Second time booking Melanie and we’re confident we’ve found our long term sitter. She is so kind, communicative, and lovely with our babies. Can’t recommend her enough.

Melanie always left lots of photos and detailed reviews that helped me feel at ease while I was away from my furbaby :) Will definitely rebook in the future!

Melanie is so kind, thorough, and provides great updates and photos. This is the first time we’ve left one of our babies after he’s been prescribed daily medicine. Melanie was patient and creative when it came to getting him to take it. Would and will book her again!

This was the first time we left our baby for more than 24 hours and we put a lot of trust in Melanie. Melanie provided daily detailed updates and put us at ease during our trip! We cannot thank her enough.

Information Melanie L. would like to know about your pet

Are there any triggers to avoid? Food allergies? Medical issues? That's just about all I can think of but Rover wants me to write at least 25 words so enjoy this additional sentence

A typical day

Will walk around the neighborhood, get all kinds of good sniffs. Can go to a dog park as well if desired. I love to play with dogs, especially tug of war, and can even do training sessions as well.

My schedule is always changing, so just message me for availability. House sitting can be spotty bc I have to arrange care for my own pets, so it is a case by case basis but I am always open to it
