Ratings and reviews
Melinda watched our 3 Aussies while we were away. She sent us lots of picture updates & made us feel at ease while we were away. she treated our fur babies liker her own and was very attentive to our pup with epilepsy. we are so thankful we found her and would not trust anyone else with our pups. 10/10 would recommend!
Melinda was absolutely fantastic! She stayed with my dog Hugo for three nights, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I came home to a very happy, relaxed pup—which says everything about the care and attention she gave him. On top of that, the house was spotless when I returned, which I truly appreciated after traveling. Melinda was reliable, thoughtful, and clearly loves what she does. It gave me real peace of mind knowing Hugo was in such good hands. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!
Melinda was great!
I sincerely recommend Melinda for taking such excellent care of our fur babies and our home. She stayed in our home for four days and was absolutely wonderful. She is loving, caring, responsive, trustworthy, and always goes above and beyond. I first met her on Rover, and she has since become my go-to person for taking care of our dogs, cat, and home. Thank you so much, Melinda—you are the best!
Melinda is wonderful with our Shiba Inu. Melinda has watched our Shiba many times and has stayed overnight as well. I can happily recommend Melinda as a responsible and trustworthy pet sitter.
I was a bit hesitant to leave my two rambunctious 15-month-old Labrador Retrievers, Teddy and Bear, with a new sitter, but we were going out of town for a few days for our anniversary. I was relieved to find Melinda available and willing to take them in. Overall, I was pleased with the experience. Melinda seemed knowledgeable about dogs and had a gentle touch. She sent me regular updates with photos and videos of the pups, which was great for my peace of mind. Teddy and Bear are energetic puppies, as doodles are, and Melinda did well to keep up with them. She took them on walks in the morning and evening, and short walks around the house during the day due to the extreme heat. We appreciated the effort she put into engaging with them and giving them mental stimulation. However, there was one area where things could have been improved. Sometimes, the updates needed to be prompted, which made me feel anxious about how things were going. If I requested a morning, noon , and night pic with input I’m sure she would have complied happily. But we are nervous nellies when it comes to our two puppies. We would recommend Melinda to others and have her back to watch our fur babies. She is a kind and capable sitter, and I appreciated her willingness to take on our energetic duo.
