Experienced Animal Lover

Pet care experience

I have grown up with animals and their care was always one of my responsibilities. The animals we had included dogs, cats, birds and a rabbit. I have always had a pet and view them as part of my family. I have a soft spot for furry creatures and most of my pets have been rescues. I currently have 2 huskies who I take on regular adventures. I love seeing the excitement most pups exhibit when they are taken on an adventure. I have experience handling different temperaments including rehabilitating abused animals. Each animal is different; I am adept at altering the care I provide that works best with the specific animals personality. I make it a priority to ensure all animals in my care receive a safe, happy and healthy environment. While your critter is in my care we will go on regular walks &/or visits to local parks based upon owners preference. When not exploring, we will play with toys and enjoy some snuggle time. I do not have furniture restrictions so your pup can lounge where they are most comfortable. I do work full time Monday through Friday but work one of those days from home and have flexible hours. I also live close to work so can pop home regularly based upon your pets needs.

Melinda was great with our two dogs, even the wild puppy. Easy to get in touch with and provided plenty of updates on the stay. Our dogs would be happy to see their new friends again!

I never want to go to another sitter ever! She is wonderful with dude, it feels like he with family. My dog is a snuggle bean and she curls right up with him. This is so important to me

Melinda was fantastic! She took our fur babies at the last minute when we discovered the hotel was no longer pet friendly. Melinda took great care of them and we will book with her again!
