In-home pet sitter

Pet care experience

I provide in-home overnight pet sitting for a variety of critters and grooming for dogs and cats in Conroe, Huntsville and the Woodlands areas. I live in Montgomery and work in Conroe, so anything closer to work is a bonus for me. My regular job is typically 40-50 hours a week and I would stay overnight with your pets, caring for them in the mornings before work and afternoon/evenings once I am off. I’ve been grooming for 6 years and have lived with dogs all my life. I’m knowledgeable in first aid and cpr for dogs and cats. I can also administer medications if need be. I prefer to bring my dog while I am pet-sitting, but if absolutely necessary I can make other arrangements. My dog Indy, short for Independence, is a medium-sized older dog that’s full of energy. She enjoys playing with other dogs, whether they be small or large. She is house-trained and crate-trained and will stay in a kennel when I am at work. She typically avoids cats, even friendly ones that approach her. She came to me from out of the woods, so I’m not sure what interactions she may have had with cats previously.

Melinda is very good with my dog and he loves when she comes to take care of him. I usually leave notes with instructions and she follows them. She gives him his meds. Even this time, he needed an eye ointment applied and she did it. Although he's not to crazy about it. I usually ask her to stay overnight & she arrives in the early part of evenings until she leaves the next morning. Then comes back to do it all again. She doesn't overcharge, her rates are very good. Especially for the care she gives.

Our first time using a house/pet sitter while we were gone for a week on vacation, and Melinda exceeded all expectations! Highly recommend… kind and trustworthy!

I have used Mindy as a house sitter over and over again and always for get to leave a review. She is such a wonderful, caring and conscientious person. My pups afire her and she spoils them rotten. Our home is always spotless when we return home. We love Mindy and can’t recommend her enough!

Melinda is the best house/dog sitter I have ever had! My pups love her and she loves them. She sent updates, photos and videos and they all clearly showed that she genuinely loves my fur babies. Our home was spotless after a 2+ week trip. I 100% recommend Melinda as a pet sitter!
