Trusted Pet and Home Sitter

With over three years of experience caring for surrendered, rescued, and purebred dogs, I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs. I'm comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions to help keep your pets healthy, happy, and on their normal routine. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, giving you peace of mind while you're away.

Finding someone you completely trust with your pets can be tough, but Melinda is a total gem. She has looked after Milo and Moose several times now, and the bond they share with her is wonderful to see—they absolutely adore her! She is reliable, attentive, and keeps in great touch so you never have to worry for a second. The personalized thank-you cards she sent with pictures of Milo and Moose on the front show just how much heart and thought she puts into her work. I am so grateful for her and highly recommend her to any pet parent!

Melinda, I call her Mel has always taken care of my dog Leo. I feel confident that Leo will be taken care of when he is with Mel, most importantly when he sees Mel he gets all excited and does his happy dance along with a few zoomies. That’s all I really need to know, when my dog is as excited to see her as he is to see me I know he’s being taken care of.

I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. She treated my dogs like family, kept me updated throughout my trip, and took wonderful care of my home. I came home to happy, relaxed, pets and a spotless house. Her professionalism, communication and genuine love for animals gave me complete peace of mind. I will definitely book her again.

I have cared for surrendered, rescue, and purebred dogs, giving me experience with a wide range of temperaments, personalities, and care needs. I'm also comfortable administering medications and following detailed instructions.
