Caring, attentive and responsible

Pet care experience

Animals have been part of my life since I was a small child. I adopted and lived with 2 cats for almost 20 years. I also fostered 2 standard poodles for a couple of years. I feel pets are family and should be loved and valued.

I am writing a recommendation for Melinda who has been just wonderful with walking regularly with my two large sweet poodles. She is very caring, calm and affectionate with my dogs and they just absolutely love her they get excited and look forward to their walks with her. I cannot say enough about how great she is with my two dogs. I would highly recommend her to work with your pets she is just great with animals and she has also pet sitted my dogs. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
