About Melinda M.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I focus on maintaining their normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow all feeding and walking schedules and other care preferences exactly as provided. I make sure pets get appropriate exercise, playtime, and affection based on their personality and energy level. I keep the home tidy, ensure fresh water is always available, and monitor pets closely for any changes in behavior or health. I also provide regular updates and photos to owners so they feel comfortable and connected while they’re away

A typical day
I will take your dog for a long walk in the neighborhood to ensure they have proper exercise, give them playtime, and make sure they have food, water and treats to get them through the day.

Pet care experience
I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for a variety of breeds and personalities. I was raised with a Yellow Lab, Beagle, and German Shepherd, which gave me a strong foundation in dog behavior, exercise needs, and daily care. I currently have a 7-year-old Siberian Husky, so I’m very comfortable with high-energy dogs, long walks, and structured routines. I also care for a 4-year-old rabbit, giving me experience with smaller pets and their unique needs. In addition, I regularly walk and help care for my friends’ dogs while they’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize safety, patience, and attentive care. I currently work as a Physician Assistant- so I have an atypical schedule leaving me with availability on weekends, Mondays, and Tuesdays to care for your pets. I can provide walks, drop in visits, and feeding. I also have ability stay for extended hours if you are traveling or going away a for a long weekend.
