Melinda was wonderful with my anxious pup and he adored her! She is a great communicator, very accommodating and professional, and took wonderful care of him. She sent photos of him exploring her beautiful property. Highly recommend.

Melinda was amazing with our boy, Drax, who can be a sensitive soul. She was kind with him and clearly has lots of experience, and a very dog friendly home. I'll definitely be reaching out to Melinda again.

Melinda was so great with my dog, Pretty. She made Pretty feel at home. Melinda also sent pictures and updates which made me miss Pretty less. I would recommend her to anyone who wants their pet to be able to hang out with someone who loves animals and knows how to care for them.

Melinda was amazing! She was able to help us last minute and was so good to our sweet girl (who needed some extra care bc of a recent allergy flare up (she was on new medication). She shared pictures and updates while we were gone. Would highly recommend!
