Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable Care and Lots of Love
Animals have always been a big part of my life. I grew up with dogs, cats, and hamsters, and for the past 22 years I’ve always had a dog of my own—they’re truly part of the family. Right now, we have a sweet 2-year-old Italian Greyhound, so I understand the energy, patience, and consistency that come with caring for a young dog. I also have experience caring for other types of pets, including our bearded dragon, so I’m comfortable with different personalities and needs. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I don’t take that lightly. I’ll care for your pet the same way I care for my own—with lots of love, attention, and respect for their routine so they feel safe and happy while you’re away.

Ratings and reviews
Always great to have Melina care for our Benson boy!
Melina was amazing with our puppy! She was able to accommodate us at the last minute, which we really appreciated. She was responsive, reliable, and made us feel completely comfortable leaving him in her care. He was happy and well taken care of, and we’ll definitely be booking with Melina again. Highly recommend!

Schedule
I’m a stay-at-home mom to three children, all over the age of 8, so our home is calm and doesn’t have little ones running around. My daughters are homeschooled, which gives us a very flexible schedule and allows us to be home often throughout the day. While we do have activities, we’re able to plan our schedule around the pets in our care and can be home every 2–4 hours as needed. This flexibility means your pet will get plenty of attention, supervision, and consistency while staying with us. Our home environment is relaxed, dependable, and centered around making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I do not have a fenced yard but I do take frequent walks with my dog through the neighborhood so walks will not be a problem.
Pets
A typical day
I can provide plenty of potty breaks, play time and snuggles. If your dog needs extended walks I’m up for that and in the summer we will make sure those happen early morning or early evening to ensure their paws don’t get hot.
