About Melinda S.

Safety, trust & environment
Caring for your furry friend in their own home makes them less anxious when you are away. I am available for overnight stays so your furry friend doesn’t have to leave the safety and comfort of their home.
Information Melinda S. would like to know about your pet
I will need to know about your furry friends daily routines: feeding times, walking times, medication times and dosage amounts, where things are located such as leashes, food, medications, all health issues, likes and dislikes, all prohibited activities and places inside and outside of home, your contact information and vets contact information in case of an emergency, emergency plan, location of all alarms and codes to all locked doors, behavior and personality of your furry friend, what makes them calm, what makes them anxious.
A typical day
Neighborhood “sniff walks”, backyard games like fetch and hide and seek, treat scavenger hunts, keeping up with their routines like simple training tricks, bonding time with brushing and massage, a lots of cuddling

Reviews

Melinda took such great care of Jensie and my home during her 3-night stay. My pup has had anxiety in the past with my traveling and she kept him calm and made sure he was loved on. Will definitely ask her to dog sit again in the future. Cannot recommend enough!

Melinda is very kind and considerate. She’s such a warm person and my pup loves her!

Melinda was very easy and pleasant to work with from start to finish. We felt very comfortable having our dog in her care which made for a stress-free vacation for us. We could tell from the pictures Melinda took that our girl was happy and and from the notes that she was well cared for. Would happily hire Melinda again.

Melinda did a great job caring for our pup, Daisy, on the first time we had a Rover sitter come to our home. Everything went smoothly, Daisy was well taken care of, and Melinda was very flexible with our time. Thanks, Melinda!!!
