Your Pet's Next Best Friend

Pet care experience

I have been caring for mainly dogs since I was a kid. Whether it was for neighbors or my own family, dogs have always been an integral part of my life. I have my own pup, Benito, who was rescued after a hurricane in Puerto Rico. He is a senior boy who comes with nearly constant health complications. From doing doggy physical therapy on a new ACL to hand feeding food after dental surgery, I will always go above and beyond to make sure my furry friends are as comfortable as possible, regardless of age.

Safety, trust & environment

I love long walks to a nearby park (or quiet trail if your pup is easily over-stimulated), but I also enjoy a good puppy snuggle on the couch.

Information Melina T. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs to attend to, but also just their overall behavior and temperament may better help me to prepare for how to best care for your pup!

A typical day

Depending on location, I have a few favorite spots around Allendale for walking a dog. Grand Ravines is an obvious favorite among many, but I am personally more of a fan of their more secluded hiking trails for the views and less foot traffic. Another favorite would be Allendale Community Park. This is where I walk my own dog, as he is small and the park offers a perfect circle.

I recently graduated from getting my master's degree, so I'm currently in-between positions. Therefore, my schedule is quite open. I am only against over night visits as I have a dog of my own at home.
