Animal lover with fully fenced yard

Pet care experience

I have always been an animal lover and advocate for our furry family members. As a licensed veterinary technician I have made it my life goal to care for animals in a kind, loving and compassionate way. My home is pet friendly and a safe haven for dogs and cats of all ages, shapes and sizes. I am capable of administering medications if needed and providing a loving home for your pets while you are away. As a family we spend a lot of time outdoors so they will be well exercised and cared for on all levels. Along with boarding I am also aware that some pet’s are more comfortable in there own home and am available to do home visits for those pets as well. With a background as a veterinary technician I have experience with many different breeds, sizes, ages and health conditions. I have worked with high energy dogs and dogs that need a bit of a slower pace! If you are looking for boarding or daycare I am currently home full time (with my son) and your pets would get a ton of attention and outdoor time.

We have used a lot of Rover dog sitters and Melinda is the best. She has a very natural and easy way with animals (and people!) I felt so comfortable leaving our two pups with her. I truly think our dogs enjoyed their time with her too. I highly recommend.

Melinda is one of the kindest and most hard working people I know. She is dependable, knowledgeable, capable and always has a good attitude. I trust her unconditionally with any of my patients, pets and to be honest, my human children. You cannot go wrong with hiring Melinda!

I can’t think of anyone I would trust more with my pets than Melinda! Not only is Melinda a responsible caring pet owner herself but she is also a licensed veterinarian technician. As an equine veterinarian myself, I would call Melinda when I had concerns about my OWN dogs! She will only take the best care of yours too!
