I was incredibly excited to find Melinda to take care of my corgi pup Frodo! I'm always a bit apprehensive about someone new but Melinda was great about adhering to our training plan when she took Frodo out for walks, and she was very communicative over text. She provided some stellar photos of Frodo during their walks and playtime, which are always hugely uplifting when you're stuck behind a desk at work. I've never had to worry about giving Melinda access to our home either while we're away. When we had to leave town for a long weekend and weren't able to take Frodo with us, I felt completely comfortable leaving her in Melinda's care (which was difficult, because I'd only left Frodo with friends before). Without me having to ask she sent frequent updates throughout the day of Frodo's adventures at the dog park and playing with Melinda's adorable lil pugs, along with plenty of pictures of course. I know that the next time I go out of town, I have someone reliable who will take excellent care of my corgi bean.
