Safety, trust & environment

I have a large fenced yard and two delightful, social, playful dogs. Dogs get daily walks, lots of treats and as much couch time as they want

Information Melinda R. would like to know about your pet

We love all dogs and appreciate information about resource guarding, recall, treat restrictions, etc. My house is fairly dog proof but always good to know about chewing tendencies.

A typical day

We go on twice daily short hikes on the trails near my house, and can do longer hikes with dogs that are up for it.

Pets

Never too many dogs

Pet care experience

I love dogs, and believe that the more we have, the merrier. My two dogs rule my house and always want more friends. I have been taking care of dogs for as long as I can remember.

Great communication and flexibility. I was flying standby and had to make some changes and Melinda was flexible. She kept me well informed on how my pooches were doing. Will definitely book with her again.

Some might say my cats and dog are high maintenance. Melinda says they are charming. Melinda knows they mean the world to me and she gives them the best. That means slow walks with my dog and sometimes hand feeding her kibble because it just tastes better that way. She always sends me pictures of the kitties so I know they are OK, and also have not destroyed the house. They probably wish I would leave town more so they could spend more time with Melinda.
