Pet care experience
Use code “MELANL27139” to get $20 off your first booking with me! I am a lover of all animals! I have grown up with cats my entire life and have had dogs since my early 20s. Over the last few years my partner and I have raised goats, chickens and ducks in addition to our high energy dog and cat. I have had experience pet sittings dogs and cats with a variety of needs: from medication, injuries, anxiety, and destructive patterns/behavior. I am an active person and would love to take your dog(s) on walks, swims and adventures (with your consent of course).
Reviews
Highly highly recommend Melanie! This was the first time we hired a stranger to watch our boys so this dog momma was stressing. Melanie was amazing with communication and sent so many pictures of my boys as it helped to ease my anxiety. She asked questions to make sure she knew what my boys needed in her care. She made sure my boys were safe and taken care of. Definitely hiring her again to help with our boys when we can’t take them with us. She’s amazing and so very patient with care. If I could do 10+ stars I would!
Melanie was so great with my dogs! She is a great communicator, asked great questions to ensure she could take great care of my ladies! I really appreciated how she adapted to my dogs, understood their needs, and respected their boundaries. I will be booking her again!
About Melanie L.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Initially, I like to check in with the owner to determine what actions and environments their pets thrive in. Whether it's treats, pets, affections, play time, walks, etc, it's important to ensure my intentions are appropriate. Typically, a meet and greet is set up to establish expectations. I believe consistent communication including photos, phone calls, texts, and or emails is necessary to ensure you feel connected to your pets while you're away. The level and form of communication will be established prior to your departure and can be fluid based on your comfort level. I want to ensure you feel at ease while I am watching your animals and home.
Information Melanie L. would like to know about your pet
I can handle large high energy breeds to small passive breeds and everything in between. Knowing a dogs typical behavior patterns, allergies, energy level, and exercise level will help me give them the proper attention that they need.
A typical day
It's important to mentally and physically engage with pups, so I like to take them out on long walks and hikes and reward good behavior with treats and pets. I like to play games or work on tricks for mental stimulation.
