Responsible/attentive animal lover!
Pet care experience
My family has had cats and dogs since I was a kid, and I’ve always loved animals! Over the past 10 years I’ve cared for dogs ranging from Chihuahua to Great Dane sizes, as well as cats. I hold myself to the highest of standards and will always work to the best of my ability to ensure your pet is safe, healthy, and happy.
Reviews
Did a good job and helped me out last minute.
Melinda was fantastic! I could tell she actually cared about my dogs and fulfilling any requests I had. She followed through with everything she said she would do. She spent a lot of time with them which i’m sure they appreciated so much. She’s definitely my new go to sitter ?
Mindy took great care of our large dog Kenai. She was responsive, communicated frequently prior to and during house sitting and dog sitting and made sure Kenai got living attention while we were out of town. I highly recommend Mindy!
Mindy was wonderful with our dogs, she kept me in the loop, even dealt with a dead snail in the aquarium with no complaints, the house was l clean when we got home, our dogs were spoiled rotten. It made me feel okay leaving them home. Fantastic dogsitter.
About Melinda B.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am not able to pet sit at my current home, but my experience lies with pet sitting in clients’ homes. I’m very considerate and respectful of your space, and I always leave the house in the same or better condition than when I arrived! I will follow your pet care instructions as much as possible with my work schedule and abilities, and will always spend as much time with them as I can. I will pay attention to behavior changes and have dog trainer friends with whom I consult if I’m unsure about what a behavior change might indicate. I will also keep in touch with you as often as you’d like to be updated on how your pet is doing. :)
Information Melinda B. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, including medication needs, special diet restrictions, activity needs, etc. It’s also helpful to know whether you have a dog door and how they are on leash (whether they pull).
A typical day
I am happy to play fetch/catch with your pups, take them for short walks (up to a mile) around the neighborhood or maybe to a nearby park, and give them all the snuggles.

***PLEASE NOTE: I work full-time (8-5, M-F) and can work from home most of the time. However, I have to travel to a few times per month and will try to keep my calendar updated. :) *** Weekends and evenings are usually open and I would likely devote lots of those times to loving on your pet!
