Information Melinda & Craig & Kelsie C. would like to know about your pet

A few things we ask of you: We ask that your dog be socialized. We want them to enjoy their stay with us and not be made anxious by our small dog. While we don't expect anything but fun, snuggles and kisses, we do live within one mile of an emergency pet hospital (Hillside Veterinary Clinic) but if there a a different vet you would feel more comfortable in case of emergency, please provide us with that information. We are totally breed inclusive and think all breeds are great! We also ask that you bring your pup's collar with tags, leash, 1-2 extra days of food in case you are delayed, and bed and/or crate. Please leave your pup’s toys at home, we have plenty, soft and tough!

A typical day

We live right by Ridgewood Trail! We love going on walks on this trail, we even get to pass one yard that has goats in it and that is always a hit with the dogs! We also like going to White Rock Dog Park and Swiss Dog Park, but if any of these concern you please let us know and we will skip them for your pet.

Pet care experience

Hello! We are a home of 1 wiggle butt dog who love making new friends! We own a house conveniently located just off of Abrams Road with a fenced in yard for play time, and we even have a small dog door so the smaller doggos can let themselves in and out! We also live within easy walking distance to Ridgewood trail to provide your dogs with excellent walks! I, Melinda, am at home full time, and my husband is home in the evenings so someone will be able to be with your beloved pet at all times. We have over 6 years of experience with puppies, senior dogs, large dogs, hyper dogs, needy dogs, squish faced dogs and even special needs dogs! We look forward to getting to love on your dogs and learning their unique personalities to become their friend.

Melinda just recently started to do drop-ins with our senior pup to let him out and hang with him for a bit while we’re at work, and she’s been fantastic. She’s excellent at committing and is super responsive via Rover messaging. Melinda is reliable and responsible, we never have to worry about whether she’s going to show up. Our dog, Oliver, absolutely adores her too…we can see how happy he is in the pics she includes with his report card. Would absolutely recommend Melinda to care for your pup!

Our Ellie girl came home a happy pup after staying at Melinda's. Melinda was quick to respond, sent photos and has a vetted care regimen that made us feel at ease and comfortable for Ellie. Thank you!

Amazing. I felt so good knowing my dog was happy and well cared for. I will definitely use them again!

This is my second visit to Melinda. Missy seemed to fit right into the routine, was again well cared for and not the least bit stressed out when returning back to my house.
