About Melinda S.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet's safety and wellbeing are my priority, and I am flexible with the needs of your pet. My husband & I are very attentive to our dog and would provide that same compassion and flexibility to your pet. I can walk, feed, & administer medicine at whichever times work best for your dog. It is important to me that I keep your pet's routine as intact as possible to help them feel at ease.
Home
Information Melinda S. would like to know about your pet
I like to know if your pet has any food restrictions like allergies, preferences, etc. I also like to know if your pet has anything I should watch out for or cater to like territorial behaviors, anxiety, etc.
A typical day
I tailor the activities based on the pet's energy, interests, & needs. We have lots of dog toys and love going on walks around the neighborhood. I enjoy practicing tricks & creating enrichment exercises as well but would need to know if your dog has food restrictions.

Reviews
Melinda was so attentive and responsible while caring for our dog while we were on vacation. She was very timely and sent us updates as needed. We would highly recommend Melinda to anyone who needs a great Rover.
Melinda was wonderful! We used her to take care of our dogs while we were away on vacation, and she gave us complete peace of mind. She communicated with us regularly, sent photos, and clearly cared about making sure our dogs were happy and well cared for. After having the same dog walker for years, trying someone new made us a little nervous, but knowing our dogs were in such good hands was a huge relief. We would absolutely use Melinda again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and caring dog walker!
Excellent care and environment
Melinda was very quick to respond on the day I needed a sitter. She took great care of my baby girl while we were on vacation far away from home and couldn't take her on an excursion with us. Highly recommend!
