Your fur babies deserve the best!

I have been around animals my entire life. From the family dog, to my own dog, and pet sitting for family and friends. I have experience with all sizes and breeds! I absolutely adore animals in general and am working towards having my own daycare/boarding center one day.

Melinda watched two of my dog’s on several occasions. She kept me updated with pictures and my dogs always came back happy each time. Even after a muddy day at the dog park, they came back cleaner than they came to her. I would use Melinda over a boarding facility or daycare without a doubt!

Safety, trust & environment

My pupper is my baby and treated just like my son! I view dogs as part of the family which means snuggles on the couch and in bed. Time outside walking or playing fetch is a must! I also enjoy being able to go to pet friendly places such as the dog park, Bark & Brew, as well as pet friendly patios.

Pets

A typical day

I have plenty of toys to play with and tennis balls to throw! Our neighborhood is great to get daily walks in as well. With your permission, trips to the dog park and Bark & Brew (I do not drink personally) would be on the agenda for extra socialization and fun!

Only pets that are young child and dog friendly please! My son absolutely LOVES dogs! He also has been taught to be gentle with dogs, but also can handle if he gets knocked down. My fur baby Sadie, loves other dogs! She can handle some growling from them, but if you’re dog prefers to be the only dog in the household, unfortunately I would not be a good fit.
