21 years petsitting experience
Pet care experience
I have lots of experience with all animals from birds all the way up to horses. I have 4 rescued dogs and one tortoise. I treat all pets as if they were my own so when they are in my home they are like one of the family. I have 1 kid in college at home to help out that loves animals as much as I do. We have a doggie door too. I worked for 8 years for one of the most popular petsitting companies in the east valley until that business was sold. I have lots of experience with petsit visits in your home and extensive experience with dog walking. I love dogs and can handle anything from a 3 pound Teacup Chihuahua to a 140 pound Mastiff. I have fostered many dogs over the past 22 years. I've rescued lots of animals and have reunited many lost pets with their owners. I started a greyhound rescue 22 years ago in Florida and saved hundreds of lives while doing so.

Melinda is always so wonderful and caring with our dogs!
Melinda is so wonderful with our pets!!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our pups were well taken care of and we are so happy Melinda was available!
Melinda was great for our dog, and she was very flexible when we had a family emergency during his stay. I would highly recommend Melinda, as she doesn't just watch your pet, but takes care of them very well. Our dog was kept engaged each day with playtime and exercise, as well as updates on how he was adjusting during his stay. Thank you for your help and being so flexible for my family in a time of crisis.

Pets in my home are allowed to play in the backyard with my dogs if everyone gets along. They get snuggle time on the couch if they are allowed up there and are also welcome to sleep on our beds at night with us.

Information Melinda E. would like to know about your pet
I love giant dogs and have a special place in my heart for the seniors and special needs. I would like to know where your pet likes to sleep, any medications and how well they get along with other dogs.
A typical day
I take them out in the backyard for playtime and walk them if requested. I enforce the training that they already know and can work on some new training as well. I offer additional dog discounts. I can take difficult dogs too.
