Having known Melinda for many years, I’ve always entrusted her with the care of my animals. She is responsible and excellent at following all directions I may leave with my animals. I’m a bit jealous as sometimes they’ll not want to leave her after Ive spent a week away. I have recommended her to several of my friends and colleagues. She is a professional young lady with the pet’s best interest in mind. In all scenarios that I’ve ever seen her, she is gentle, kind, compassionate, and patient with animals. As I know it now, she has two of her own dogs who are very good boys and who she cares for dearly. I cannot, and would not trust anyone else with the care of my animals. I strongly recommend her as an exceptional choice for a dog caregiver and sitter.
