The Mary Poppins of Animal Care!
Pet care experience
I always wondered why I was forced to endure hours and hours of watching “The Dog Whisperer” as a kid, now I know, it was to make me a great caregiver to pets. I have volunteered with Petco and PetSmart in their dog training program. I used to save stray animals (mostly dogs), get them to a vet, train them at home, and help them get adopted to loving families. It was a lot of work but very rewarding. I was always coming home with a new stray, and I loved it! I am a stay at home wife, and I’m looking for a way to better use my time. I love animals and I’m experienced in taking care of them. I think working with other families and filling a need with their family pet will bring me great joy! I walk the pups every couple of hours and make sure they get a lot of attention. I just ask that you bring a crate for your pup. I only use the crate when I feed the dogs (keeping them separate), and when I run small errands. Can't wait to meet your pup!
Reviews
Melina was great with our pup! He stayed with her and her family for 2+ weeks. she had a meet and greet which didnt go so well since our pup wasnt socially adapted to other dogs while on his leash with us. However she gave it another go with him and it worked out. Melina was very communicative throughout his stay at her home and sent pics and updates. She and her family were very patient with our pup and we are grateful for her opening her home to him!!
Melina & her family took such good care of my Macy. They were so patient and caring with her. I will definitely be leaving Macy in their care in the future.
Thanks for taking such great care of our 2 dogs.
Melina was amazing with our 2 pups, even going out of her way to help us with another family pet. Her husband and her were so sweet and accommodating I would definitely recommend her as well as use her again in the future!
