Safety, trust & environment

I am able to come by daily as often as needed, or stay in your home to care for pets if necessary. I will happily feed, walk, play with, and provide love to any animals in my care. For cats and rabbits, I can scoop litterboxes at least once daily, and take dogs for potty breaks as often as needed. I also am capable of caring for reptiles (feeding and handling as needed,) as I have my own and am very much a reptile lover.

Information Melinda G. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or treatments ahead of time. If your pet needs special medications, please take the time to show me how to best administer it so your animal is as comfortable as possible in my care.

A typical day

I love to play with animals, and give them physical and mental stimulation! We'll go to the dog park, investigate everything on walks, and play lots of games with their favorite toys. My dog would also be happy to play and spend time with yours, if you'd like!

Pet care experience

I've taken care of animals of many varieties since I was young. I've had cats my entire life, and caring for them is like second nature to me! I've also been relied on by friends and family to care for their dogs, cats, and even rabbits and reptiles on occasion!

She did a good job taking care of Jinx, despite being very sick! We appreciate it.

As always we love having Melinda care for our fur babies. She is always available for our family, even with a short notice. She is also very diligent with communication and awareness with my elderly pup. Highly recommend her services!
