Flexible Petsitter

Hi! I have taken care of animals for over 5 years, starting when I was around 13 years old. Neighbors, family, and friends have relied on me to feed, walk, play, and hang out with their pets while at work or out of town. I am a huge animal lover and look forward to ensuring pets are happy and healthy while their families are away :)

House Sitting • Sep 01, 2026

Melinda was absolutely incredible. She really came through for us at the last minute. She was amazing at communicating, stayed overnight with our animals, and took incredible care of the space and the animals! Will definitely be hiring again and would recommend her to anyone for everything from walks to house-sitting.

Melinda is a wonderful pet sitter who has taken great care of my dog & cat several times! You can tell she is a true animal lover and will go above and beyond to ensure your pet feels happy and loved :) She has cats of her own so she is experienced and knowledgeable, and her good communication provides peace of mind while away from home.
