Sorry I was late. I saw a dog!
Pet care experience
I've owned dogs since high school and am a true dog lover. My mom tells this story of how we were out for a walk once and my brother asked what took us so long. My mom's response was "Your sister had to stop and pet every dog we saw along the way.". I love being outdoors, active, and dogs so dog walking is a perfect fit. I've been working part-time at a dog daycare for the past year and have learned alot about dog behavior.
Reviews
Thanks Melinda for taking care of Jojo and Kenji!!
Melinda is great. My dog adores her! She sent pictures and was very precise in her timing. Would recommend her and we will continue having her walking our dog.
Melinda is the best. The dogs love her!!
Melinda was a great help and took great care of our pup during her check-ins. She was timely and is a great communicator. We’ll definitely ask her for help in the future!

I will not be providing care at my home due to living at a small apartment that only allows 1 dog. I will provide any care that you need me to for your precious pup(s)! A dog walk with a gentle leader, harness, or just a plain collar. I will be using a 'waist' leash for added safety to prevent accidental dropping or jerking of leashes out of my hand. Safety is paramount!!!! Let them run wild in a fenced in back yard. Or just to feed, water, potty, and snuggle a senior dog. I can even provide doggy 'Uber' services if need be.
Information Melinda N. would like to know about your pet
Really, I want to know everything about your dog. Lol. I'll need to know if there are any behavioral issues to watch for, health problems to be aware of, if you think your dog could possibly become a 'flight' risk if he/see sees a rabbit or squirrel on a walk, how are they going to respond to a stranger entering their home, etc.
A typical day
I will only be providing dog walking and drop-in services to cats and dogs of all sizes/breeds at this time. I can provide doggy 'Uber' services, if needed.

Melinda can watch in your home
Availability
I currently work weekends at my 'adult' job, as i call it. The job that pays the bills and provides the benefits. Lol. My schedule is very flexible and open most Monday - Friday for all your dog care/walking needs. Even if a day says I'm unavailable, please ask me. It doesn't let you block off a few hours out of a day if you have a random appointment.
