Highlights
Pet care experience
Your fur baby will be spoiled 100%!
Hi, thank you so much for stopping by to read through my profile. I have loved and taken care of friend’s and family’s dogs for years. Big, small, medium, even tempered, wild, mellow- I absolutely love them all. I have a 12 year old lab, who has slowed down a lot. She is my everything. I find something about raising a dog from a young pup to an aging one, so very special and rewarding. If your dog is fast paced or likes to smell every blade of grass, I’m game. Rain, shine, or snow, I’m available. I’d absolutely appreciate it if you gave me the opportunity to spoil your dog, not just walk or watch. I understand these are your babies. My house is set up well with a fenced in back yard and lots of attention and love offered. Let me know what questions or concerns you might have!

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Melinda and her pup lily were great! Our girl Roxy had a great time hanging out and going for a walk.
Took great care of our dogs, sent tons of pictures!
She was very friendly and took great care of our girls ☺️
Great communication and updates as well as genuine adoration for our dogs; as if they are part of her family. Couldn’t ask for a more ideal sitter!
Melinda has watched my 2 cats several times while I have been out of town. She took excellent care of them and I plan on using her services in the future. My cats liked her and they are a good judge of character.
Melinda has been around animals her whole life. She has watched my 4 dogs on numerous occasions with great success. I have no doubt she would treat anyone else’s pet as her own and give them the love and care they need. Melinda is trustworthy and motivated.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My house is open and I have a great fenced in area. Your dog will be spoiled rotten over here. Lots of pets and attention. I also know how important a walk is to a dog, it’s the highlight of their day! We’d make the most of it.
Pets
A typical day
On walks, I love taking the dog’s lead, if the dog wants to go for a run, a jog, a fast pace walk, smell around, let’s do it! I keep the dog near me at all times. At my house, I’d love to run around the yard, give endless belly rubs, take for walks, there’s lots to do. I also love making treats to help stimulate a dog’s sense of wonder, smell, and taste. For instance putting an array of certain foods and treats(okayed by the owner) in a muffin tin and letting the dog have a go at it. This for sure helps during the cold months when dogs can get easily bored. Lick mats are great too! An array of toys are available.
