Careful & loving around all dogs
Pet care experience
I have experience with various breeds, behaviors, and ages of dogs. I have been trained on handling anxiety, fear aggression, puppies, and senior dogs. I am attuned to dogs' needs and can provide enrichment, disciple, cuddles, or whatever the individual dog needs. I have years of experience pet sitting for neighbors, family members, and coworkers. Trust, compassion, and safety are my priorities when handling pets, and I am grateful to have established trusting & loving relationships with all dogs I have crossed paths with.
Reviews
Our dog is old, and Melinda is great with him. He is always happy to be dropped off at her place and comes home happy. I highly recommend her as a dog sitter.
Melinda was one of the best dog care givers here at Rover. Took great care of Max and communicated constantly.A+.
I am delighted to share my review of the exceptional dog sitting service provided by Melinda for our furry family member, Charlie. From start to finish, Melinda exceeded our expectations, showcasing her dedication, professionalism, and love for animals. The moment we met Melinda, it was evident that she had a genuine passion for dogs. She took the time to get to know Charlie's unique needs, preferences, and routines, ensuring a seamless transition while we were away. Throughout our time apart, Melinda maintained regular communication, providing updates and photos that brought immense comfort and reassurance. She not only ensured Charlie's well-being but went above and beyond to provide him with extra care, attention, and countless belly rubs. Melinda also diligently followed Charlie's exercise routine and dietary requirements, delighting us with her attention to detail. With Melinda, we felt confident that Charlie was in the best hands possible, allowing us to relax and enjoy our time away. We wholeheartedly recommend Melinda's dog sitting service to all pet owners seeking a reliable and compassionate caregiver. Her exceptional service has undoubtedly made her an invaluable asset to our family, and we would love to be able to entrust Charlie to her care in the future.
I can't say enough about how great Steven and Melinda are. They are two of the most caring people I know. They truly go above and beyond for the animals and people in their lives. I had to leave my 9-week-old (not yet housebroken) puppy with Steven and Melinda a few years ago. They rose to the occasion and provided excellent care and even had my puppy trained by the time I returned home! They established a bond that will last a lifetime. I have since seen them in action patiently caring for their own and friends' dogs over the years. I would trust them with my dogs and recommend them to care for other pets without reservation.

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 dog's routine as intact as possible to help them feel at ease.

My job is hybrid, so I am home 2 days of the week and weekends. On work from home days, I am very flexible with my schedule. I have a terrier rescue dog of my own, and my husband & I take him on 3 walks a day--around 8am, 3pm, and 10pm.
