WFH professional who loves pets!

Pet care experience

I grew up with a dog starting at the age of 12 and have since cared for dogs of all ages - puppy to senior aged dogs (even blind doggos), of all breeds. And I also have experience with cats.

As always, amazing care for our little pork chops!! Melinda is so loving to our babies and we can’t imagine leaving them with anyone else. If you want the best care, she’s your girl!

Absolutely fabulous! We had an event in town and Melinda took care of our fur kids wonderfully. One is introverted and the other is very outgoing yet she managed them so well, keeping them both entertained and calm at the same time :) Thank you again!

Information Melinda L. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog is comfortable / friendly with other dogs and if they do ok in public spaces! I have many friends with dogs so would love to go on hikes, walks and to the park with the other pups as well as bring them to food truck lots, breweries, etc.

A typical day

I love taking doggos on long walks! I live by Pilot Butte so that’s typically where I take them. I also take them to dog parks if they’re friendly with other dogs.

I work remote from my home full time so have a very flexible schedule. I value spending time each day outside, walking or running. I also live alone so enjoy animal companionship.
