Reviews
Melanie was absolutely amazing with my shy boy!💙 She gave us great updates and wonderful peace of mind while we were away. I would definitely recommend to anyone needing a great cat sitter!
Melanie was fantastic. Asked all the right questions & executed all requests with ease! I could tell our pups immediately loved her and were also clearly having a great time in all the photos. She was trustworthy, clean, timely, & a great communicator throughout the entire week. Thanks so much for loving our pups Melanie!!
Melanie took care of my 2 cats and did a great job. She went out of her way to communicate every day when mobile service where I was staying was poor. She was professional and really cared for my cats. I would recommend her and will use her again.
Melanie was an amazing pet sitter for my dog, Birdy! She was incredibly communicative, keeping me updated with messages and photos during her visits. It was clear how much she genuinely enjoyed spending time with Birdy, which made me feel so confident and at ease. I could tell Birdy was happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Melanie to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter.
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.

Availability
I recently moved to Grand Junction to work as a hydrologist. Previously pet setting was my full time job. I work Monday through Friday but I can incorporate walks, feedings, potty breaks, etc when necessary. We can arrange a schedule that suits both you and your pets needs.
