Full time care/Flexible Schedule

Hi! I'm Melanie and I look forward to spending time with your loved ones. I've always had dogs of my own since I was a very young age. I have been the go to pet-sitter with friends and family for years when they have had to leave town or just have someone stop over for walks or to say hello. I lost my dog a while ago to a heart condition, so would love to help in caring for yours. I work from home, so my schedule is open to walk or hike and do overnight stays. I love the outdoors and would love your pet as it was my own. :) Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.

Doggy Day Care • Apr 12, 2026

Melanie was fantastic - our little guy was definitely spoiled and living his best life while we boarded on the mountain for two days. She was accommodating and helpful, kept us updated with messages and pics, and I wouldn't hesitate to book her again the next time we are in Mammoth. Overall great vibe, obviously fond of fur babies and as a bonus was flexible (she was able to keep him extra hours on both days when we got invited out to dinner last minute). 100% recommend!

Melanie saved our ski trip to Mammoth. We were traveling with our dog and my wife decided las minute to ski... Melanie was available, kind, and communicative. For those visiting Mammoth Lakes with dogs and like to have dinner or any other commitment where dogs are not allowed I definitely recomend Melanie. Thank you again!

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets as if they were my own. I respect their routines, boundaries, and personalities, and I make sure they feel safe and relaxed in their familiar space. Whether that means playtime, walks, cuddles, medication, or simply being a calm presence, I adjust my care to each pet’s needs. I also treat my clients’ homes with the same respect and care I would my own

A typical day

I keep things fun and engaging without overstimulation. That means playful walks, interactive toys, light games, and plenty of downtime for pets who prefer to relax. Fun should always feel safe and enjoyable.

I like to know each pet’s routine, personality, medical needs, and any quirks or sensitivities ahead of time so I can provide the best care possible.
