Loving BFF Pet Care

Pet care experience

I have been loving mom to 3 Beloved rescue dogs, 4 cats and 3 small conures and have cared for my family of animals from puppyhood through passing. They were washed and brushed, fed healthy food, taught manners and treated with love, respect, and compassion. Many hours have been spent playing and petting while having deep conversations about life. Now that my sweet Sandy Bear has gone I welcome other 4 legged friends into my life for daycare or overnight staycations. Caring for your doggies would fill me with joy! My home welcomes your bff during the day or overnight who is house trained and FIXED. I welcome your inquiries and look forward to meeting you and your best friend soon. thank you. Melinda I work from home so I am available to give love and attention to your pets 24/7. They are my welcome guests & new BFF. My yard is fully fenced and a doggie playground. I have poop pickup & total home organic cleaning to protect our health & wellbeing. ♥️

Melinda always takes great care of our Phoebe. She is communicative and reliable. Thanks so much!

Melinda was very interested in getting to know our dog. She asked a lot of questions about his behavior, his personality, his normal day, etc. She was very concerned about making our dog feel like he was as much at home as possible. Peso seemed very happy when we went to pick him up. We would definitively recommend Melinda for dog sitting. She was quick to respond to messages, and she sent us a picture of Peso. We would use Melinda again if we are visiting Albuquerque in the future.

Melinda was great, you won’t go wrong if you book with her. Maddie only stayed with Melinda for one night but she returned a tired pup, which can only mean she had an excellent time playing with friends.

We were grateful to find Melinda last minute to watch our older dog for an extended time. He had a place to enjoy outdoors and a kind human to spend time with while we were away. We would absolutely ask Melinda to care for our pup again.

Information Melinda R. would like to know about your pet

Please share your dog’s temperament with people and other animals so that we can remain safe and get along. All dogs MUST BE FIXED in order to guarantee all animals are comfortable in my home. I request dogs leash trained & nonaggressive. Small dogs on up are great. However, I would prefer no young puppies to live in. All my dogs have lived long healthy lives so I have a very soft spot for seniors who need extra love and assistance.

A typical day

I live in Nob Hill in Albuquerque only 1.5 miles from the airport. My yard is deep and fenced with the back half well enjoyed by all my dogs. Though my bungalow home is only 1k sq ft it definitely can home 2 small to large dogs. In the warmer months the French doors are kept open for them to come in and go out back at will and lie under shaded decks.
