Pet care experience

Lifelong animal lover! I grew up with cats and have been helping friends/family take care of their dogs and cats for my entire life. I also have a dog of my own. I'm extremely comfortable providing walks, play, basic hygiene/grooming, and feeding/watering.

Melinda took great care of Cash! He was happy to see us, but we could tell he was happy from the pictures Melinda took throughout her time with him! We are thankful for the care she took of our dog and our home!

Melinda has a natural disposition for love and caring for all animals. She is so sweet with my dogs even though they are not the most well trained. Every animal I have seen her interact with seems to really like her. Melinda even considers play time, treats, and other enrichment to make sure that pets in her care are having good quality time when their family is away. She's always punctual and detail oriented when it comes to care schedules, and she takes the responsibility seriously so she is very reliable.
