Pet care experience

I ❤️ your pets like my own!

I have 20 years experience with dogs. I’m a mom of two and we personally have the most lovable 4 year old goldendoodle. I work from home, so I’m always here for give snuggles or potty breaks. I’m comfortable with puppies or older dogs. I’m also comfortable with small or large dogs. No aggressive dogs please - must be friendly with other dogs and older kids.

Melinda was absolutely wonderful! She helped us with a last minute stay and treated our pup, Frank, like her own. I really appreciated the consistent updates and photos throughout his stay, it gave us so much peace of mind. Frank came home happy, relaxed, and clearly loved his time there. We would absolutely book with Melinda again, she’s fantastic!

Melinda was an absolute lifesaver. We had a last minute request to take care of our puppy and she was so nice and accommodating. She really took the time to learn our routine and his behavior and needs and did such a good job taking care of him with regular check ins. Highly recommend!!

Melinda took excellent care of our pup. He was so happy & joyful in the pictures & videos she sent, and when I picked him up. Melinda’s dog is very friendly & is excellent company! I’ll definitely be trusting Melinda again with Helix.

I have two kids (9 and 13) and they love dogs and love helping me. I am an e-commerce manager and I work from home. So I’m always available for snuggles, play sessions or both breaks. I have a large fenced in back yard for lots of running and playing.

Let me know if your fur baby had any special needs I need to account for. Non-aggressive animals only. Must play well with other dogs (aka my goldendoodle) if your pet will be staying with me.
