I have been pet sitting for almost 10 years and have cared for dogs, cats, reptiles, hamsters, in addition to raising goats, chickens and ducks with my long term partner.

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.
Ratings and reviews
I booked a few very last minute "drop-ins" with Melanie to check on my 3 cats while I was away on vacation and she was incredibly responsive and super patient with me. I have a very shy male cat who never comes out for strangers but Melanie made him comfortable enough to come out for some pets. The rover cards had just the right amount of updates and the pictures were so comforting. I am so grateful for Melanies patience with me and her attentiveness. Truly a wonderful, caring person!
My little dog took two Melanie L immediately. She has a calming presence and wonderful to is positive and easy to interact with. Just what I needed, someone who is professional, can be here on time and have a flexible schedule.
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!
