Clients in Illinois and Missouri

Pet care experience

Retired dog breeder & full time homemaker who loves animal companionship. Your pets will have plenty of freedom with ample room to move both indoors and outdoors. I moved from Illinois 2+ acres to Missouri .51 acre and have again installed a dog-safe fence (can't be climbed and is extra tall). Your pets will have the run of a lakefront home, securely fenced yard, and walks on leash in this neighborhood. I would like to thank my wonderful clients for sharing with me the companionship and love of their pets - no, family! I hope to see you soon. - fenced yard with full access for your pets - current pet free, smoke free home with great air quality I am retired, and can be very flexible. My church functions are important to me, but other than that and occasional grocery shopping, my time is free. I very much enjoy time with animals and look forward to it. Sleeping time at night most dogs usually sleep in bed with me, but I also have a soft-sided crate and a smaller foldable 3-door wire crate for those who prefer it. This Missouri house has a full basement which means there are stairs both inside and on the outside. These have closed backs for safety purposes. A doggie door is available for free access to the fenced yard. Any cat sitting must be booked as a house sitting at their house. Dog sitting can occur in your home or mine.

Melinda truly loved our fur babies and sent me videos and pictures everyday! We could not be more grateful and thankful to have found someone that we fully trust to care for our dogs! Her yard is fenced in and just the perfect doggie vacation spot!

She spoils the mess out of her guests! I got pictures of home cooked meals (that I approved of, of course) , sweaters, rain coats and them hogging her bed. I had such relief and comfort knowing they were well taken care of!

Melinda is amazing! Our pup was so well taken care of. We've used rover plenty of times but she is the real deal. She loves dogs and tends to their every need. Winston came back to us so claim and relaxed. We will definitely rebook with melinda. Oh and no need to worry she takes so many pictures/videos keeping us uptodate, which was very comforting while being away for a week. Just can't say enough good things about her.
