I am a caring and loving caretaker

Pet care experience

I have had pets for 30+years. My current sweet girl is a rescue from a high kill shelter. I have had her for the last 6 years. I spent years volunteering in my profession and did some mission work as a volunteer in Guatemala. I just retired from 35 years in the nursing profession and I have a lot of time on my hands and miss feeling needed. I would love to care for your sweet pets. I have a fenced yard, but will never let your dog out unattended. My sweet girl, Daisy, is a 7 pound chihuahua mix who will hang out with us! We walk at least 4 times a day for potty breaks. I have cared for family and friends dogs over the years and have loved them all! Since I am retired I have time to spend walking, playing, sitting on the screened porch and watching birds at the feeder, or hanging out together in the house. I am comfortable giving medications if needed. Please provide a copy of vaccination records. I only accept pets who are current with flea treatment. No aggressive dogs! Only accepting potty trained pets!! I am retired so I have plenty of time to spend with your sweet pet! We will take at least 4 walks or potty breaks during day, we love to hang out on screened porch and watch birds, or we will spend time in house relaxing with Daisy or playing with toys. I have a fenced yard, but never let pets out unattended or unleashed. My upstairs is gaited, but they will hang out downstairs with me. They can cuddle on sofa or bed…wherever they prefer! I am very attentive and will love spending time with your sweet pet!

We’re repeat customers for Melinda. You can trust your furry friend will be cared for and loved with Melinda. I highly recommend and will continue to use Melinda to watch our Nellie.

Consistently great experience! Nellie is always so well taken care of and we never have a worry while we are away. We always get lots of updates and pictures. Highly recommend!!

Lindy is wonderful! My dog has stayed with Lindy three times now. For me, there is no alternative to Lindy. She is absolutely fantastic: I trust Lindy to take very good care of my dog, and I know without a doubt that he feels completely comfortable (not to mention loved) when he stays with her. She is incredibly communicative, thoughtful, and kind. I would recommend Lindy to anyone!

Melinda is absolutely wonderful!! This was my dog's longest stay away from home and I am so happy she was with Melinda. She sent me so many great pictures and updates and Lily had so much fun playing in her backyard and on her daily walks! Melinda walks Lily while I'm at work as well and I could not recommend her enough. I will definitely be taking my dog to Melinda for future boarding :)
