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.

Reviews
We are so happy to have found Melanie to help with our dog walking! Bella took to her immediately and we were so impressed with our initial meet and greet!
Melanie was everything I could hope for in a pet sitter! She was timely and followed all instructions, but more than that, her descriptions of the visits showed how much she paid attention to each of my pets and what they needed, like extra snuggles. It was also super easy to communicate with her, and she passed along anything we might need to know while we were gone. I will definitely book her again!
Melanie is amazing with my shy boy! He loves her and I never have to worry while we're away!❤️
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!
