Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced & CPR certified
I have over 25 yrs of experience in taking care of many different kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, fish, hamsters, rabbits, and even reptiles! I can even spend time training your dog! I believe in enriching the lives of our pet babies (especially dogs and cats) by involving them in play or providing them mental stimulation with puzzles, training, physical activity, and snuggles. I live in a townhouse with a fenced in yard (6 ft tall) with my 4 dogs and my indoor cat. My love for animals goes beyond just "pet care." I have participated in rescuing animals from dire situations, fostering dogs, and I'm experienced in administering medical treatments ordered by veterinarians. Your pet will be loved and be in excellent and safe hands when in my care. Professionally, I am a nurse of 27 years, and for the last 9 years, I’ve been working as a school nurse. I will give you the sense of relief in knowing your pet is well taken care of when you are away on vacation or working late. I require at least a 5 day notice before any start of service and a meet & greet to make sure we are the right fit.

Safety, trust & environment
I’m very respectful of my client’s wishes when taking care of their pets. However, I require a meet and greet to evaluate the client’s pet(s) and the environment to make sure it’s the right fit because the safety for ALL is the highest priority!
Ratings and reviews
Melinda was amazing with my 1 1/2 year old husky. He presented some issues but she remained patient and consistent with him while my family and I traveled out of town. I would definitely book with her again.
Melinda is the BOMB! Our buddy boy loves when she comes to visit him. She sends us the best photos and updates and it makes our day every time!!
Melinda stopped by for 2 consecutive nights to take care of our dog and she did a great job! It’s good to know Oakley is in trusting hands while we’re away. Would highly recommend! Thanks again, Melinda!
Melinda is a great sitter! My dog and cat love her.
Melida is a top-notch dog trainer and walker. My dog (Jade) loves her and, more importantly, Jade listens to her. Melinda takes command and is always prepared for Jade's mood and energy. I highly recommend her.
We appreciate that Melinda really cares for our pups during her drop ins and is great at communicating any issues.
