I ❤️ your pets like my own!

Pet care experience

I have 15 years experience with dogs. I’m a mom of two and we personally have the most lovable 3 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.

I was anxious to leave Sadie somewhere for the first time, but Melinda made the process so easy and really put me at ease. She sent pictures and a video throughout the day. I would highly recommend her. We’re using her again in June. Thank you Melinda for making this a great experience!

Highly recommend Melinda! Reliable and very caring! She has cared for our fur babies for several years, some drop in visits at our home and overnight extended stays at her home. She is very attentive with their “special care needs” of meds etc! I love that she text pics and updates.

Melinda has “doggy daycare” cared for my two dogs for the past three weeks. I love sending them to her so much more than a big typical doggy daycare. They get lots of activity, don’t have to stay in cages, and she loves them! She sends me pictures throughout the day too. She is so good with animals. I highly recommend her to anyone!

I can’t say enough great things! Melinda took amazing care of my senior dog. She was recommended to me by a friend and I’m so glad! She’s the only sitter I will ever use going forward. Thank you, Melinda!

I have two kids (8 and 12) 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.
