My mom’s dog, Sophie, loves Melinda! She’s very communicative and I’m very happy to have found her.

I can’t say enough great things about Melinda! While I was away, she took wonderful care of Tux and Bailey. She was always on time, incredibly trustworthy, and genuinely attentive to their needs. It was such a relief knowing they were in such good hands. I highly recommend Melinda to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter. Thank you so much for the awesome job!

Melinda is amazing, super outgoing and responsive. She is amazing with our cat, Pooh. We couldn’t be happier with the care that she provides to our little fur man when we’re out of town. This is the second times we used her and you better believe, we will rely on her again in the future. Top notch person all the away around.

Please let me know if your dog has any behaviors or specific medical needs I need to account for. If your dog can be aggressive to people or dogs, it’s really important to know.
