Comfort, safety, and love are key.

Pet care experience

I've been an animal lover my entire life. I was the kid that played with the neighborhood dogs and adopted strays. Most recently, I have an empty home, but that's mostly because I am still grieving my two sweet ones. Mr. Brodi was a 9 pound terrier mix and passed in December of 2020 quite suddenly at the age of 16. C.T. was a domestic short hair cat who passed in July of 2024 at the age of 21.5. Both were incredibly special, my walls are dedicated to them and I learned so much in our time together. Both also had medical issues towards the end and required both capsule and liquid oral medication due to cancer and heart issues (Mr. B) and kidney disease (C.T.). I am attentive, loving, patient, kind, and comfortable with all animals. I am comfortable with medication administration and special needs as well.

Safety, trust & environment

I am open to instruction. I am the person who left a two sheeter for my parents when I left my littles with them, so I get it. The desire to have their routine stable with a friendly and truly caring face is such a leap, and as someone who only trusted family with mine, I want to ensure that my clients feel completely at ease knowing I am caring for their family members.

Information Melinda C. would like to know about your pet

Commands, meal times, medical needs, how they are on a leash, what kind of training you are doing for them, what their triggers are, what are they scared of, what is their favorite thing to do, favorite shows, all of the fun stuff!!!

A typical day

Pretty much anything that is asked of me. I used to leave multiple pages of instructions for my family (including my husband) of what I felt like my littles needed. I am committed to safety, comfort, and a loving environment. All pets should be treated like family. Overshare: my parents and I literally call their dogs my brothers and sisters. We are a 'pets are royalty' family through and through.

I am currently taking a break from the corporate world. Currently, I am totally open during the day and am looking for a way to break the monotonous routine I have fallen into. Finding people that trust me with their littlest friends seems like the best option for fulfillment and activity.
