Melinda is a kind and caring dog owner herself who enjoys other people's pets too. She is very responsible and the best part about Melinda is she want's the pet parent/owner to feel comfortable in leaving their loved pet in her care, in her home or there's, knowing they are protected, loved, and enjoyed.

I am retired, and I have plenty of time to take care of the animals. I love playing with them and taking them on nice walks.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a decent sized yard. It’s not fenced in so I do walk the animals on a leash and we have some woods with paths near my house. If the dogs over 50 pounds I prefer them to be crate trained.

Pets

A typical day

I have a lovely terrace up in the trees of my upper deck log cabin house on a lake the dogs love sitting out there they bark at the boats they bark at the squirrels they bark at the birds or we can take beautiful walks around this area.

I do love all animals, but I prefer totally potty trained animals that are not aggressive. I’m not opposed to dogs that use potty pads.
