Information Melinda T. would like to know about your pet

I have a special place in my heart for all dogs but senior dogs especially. Let's discuss what needs your furry has, so that their stay here is as perfect as possible All pets coming for a staycation should bring their own bed/crate, toys & food I have lots of food bowls, leashes etc… But it always help the more anxious visitors when they have their own things while away

A typical day

Stunning walking trails literally across the street and the beauty of living in a picturesque part of the city with so much nature and places to explore I'm sure by nightfall we will all need a good nights rest. A busy pet is a happy pet lol

Pet care experience

Hi and Welcome to my little place on the internet. How to sell myself when there are so many choices out there to choose from? Well my friends call me Mel and I've been an animal lover and owner pretty much my entire life. I believe our pets are an extension of us and should be treated as family always. I can assure you that any furry in my care will be loved,respected & cared for with only kindness and will love to come back. Whether it's a walk in the trails or a day of fun for doggy daytime adventures , your munchkin will be my priority. Let me take the worry away while in my charge. As my tag-line says: Hugs Love and Selfies.... each stay with me you will also get a few picture updates.. who doesn't love a cute selfie to truly know your munchkin is safe and having fun? Depending on the size and type of pup 2x 1-2 hr hikes are in demand plus bathroom breaks & car rides are all the rage. A busy dog is a sleepy dog at night. Cuddles are non- negotiables. I’m here to let you be away with the comfort that your bestie is well looked after and hopefully will come back again & again. My job is to take the stress away from you and keep the love going while you’re away. Our pets are family & they need calmness & love when their owners can’t be there. I look forward to time spent with your furry family member 🤗 Please note: I do not facilitate same day bookings A meet & greet is a must before a booking can happen as it allows all of us to get to know one another & make sure we are a great fit There is a cat & elementary child in my care so all potential bookings must be able to fit into family life over here With a training background your pet isn’t just hanging out, we will be working on skills, playing, earning each other’s trust etc…. I love to give updates & photos. It’s the only true way to know how things are going. These are your babies…. I understand that & try my best to update daily so you have complete peace of mind while away 🤗 Not just for the dogs lol: I also am able to do drop- ins for the kitties in your life I also can do house sitting for the more anxious family members …. Ask me about that i’ve found certain animals do best when I come to them & they are able to be in their home environment as opposed to moving to a new location while you’re away.

Melinda was great to work with for our stay near Barrie. Very accommodating! I would highly recommend her to watch over your fur baby.

Melinda is a great person for your dogs! She is kind and has great love and compassion for dogs. My dog always loves to see her and is always well-looked after in her care. I never have to worry because I know my dog is in great hands when Melinda is watching him.

I have known Melinda for over 10 years and she has always been a loving and warm heart person when it comes to pets, she had dogs of various sizes and types, and she has always treated them like a part of her family. Same with her Cats. In her house pets get the best care and loved. I would trust my dogs to her any time.
