I’d love to meet your furbabies!

Pet care experience

**NOTE** I take graduate classes online, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I’m also possibly interested in others who are able to drop in on our furbabies when we’re out of town. Hello! Thank you for considering me as an option to care for your fur babies while you're gone! We have 6 dogs and 2 cats. Things escalated very quickly in the past year, but please let the record show that I am only responsible for 3 dogs and the 2 cats. My husband and stepdaughter are responsible for the acquisition of the other 3 dogs, but I’m definitely NOT complaining, and they’re all our babies now! 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ Our circus/tribe/pack includes: Indy, a medium (35 lbs) 8 year old terrier mix, who is neutered, submissive, playful, and snuggly. Pepper, a medium (35 lbs) 4 year old brindle hound mix who is also playful and snuggly (and fast!). Cow, a large (60 lbs) 2 year old Shepherd/Border Collie mix that is super playful and vocally expressive. He likes to go “Rurr rurr rurr rurr” at you to talk. They get along with male and female dogs of various sizes, and either get along with or ignore cats. They love meeting new friends to play with! I also have 2 cats, Moo (M) and Gumdrop (F), who are siblings from a litter I fostered, and 2 years old. They are fine with cats and dogs (Moo actually thinks he’s a dog and acts like it, even eating their food with them) and have their own space when they need a break or to relax. I would love to drop in on your furbabies in your house to check in and/or walk, and provide him or her, or them with love, and the best care. I am a teacher, so my summer, weekends, holidays, and evenings are flexible. I can even do drop-ins and walk visits on the way home from work on the weekdays. Your pet will have lots of snuggle time, play time, and love.

Very satisfied! Melanie did an outstanding job taking care of my pets. She was very attentive and observant to their needs to provide them with the best care possible each day. I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs help with their pets!

Melanie was GREAT with our pup. She checked in every visit, sent lots of pictures, descriptions and went the extra mile every visit! I cannot recommend her enough, will definitely be using her in the future!

Melanie is a great! She met Haley before we left, and definitely knows how to interact with dogs. My dog is very shy and barks until she feels comfortable. Melanie sent pictures and texts to interact with me every time she visited. I felt 100% comfortable with her watching our fur baby!

Information Melanie L. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know general information about a pet before sitting. This includes special diet, health information, quirks/personality traits, etc. I would also like to meet and greet, especially with dogs, but also preferred with cats. I don't discriminate on breed here! Doggie kisses and cuddles come in all forms!!! I'll take as much as I can get!!

A typical day

I love to walk up and down my neighborhood streets around Burkburnett, the high school, and Friendship park. We frequent the dog park in Wichita too. I’d love to walk around your neighborhood too!

Availability

I’m currently attending grad school through MSU online, so I’m pretty flexible with when I’m able to drop-in and/or walk. We travel occasionally so I will update my calendar and availability. We are also interested in finding a good fit for a pet sitter to drop in on OUR circus (or possibly pet-sit at our house) when we’re out of town.
