Reliable, Caring, and Experienced!

Pet care experience

I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities over the past decade, from energetic puppies to calm senior dogs. I understand that every dog has their own routine and quirks, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable and cared for. Whether it’s going for walks, keeping up with playtime, or making sure they’re fed and happy, I treat every pet like part of my family.

I’m beyond grateful for the incredible care Melinda and her husband gave my little 6 lb Yorkie, Khloe. From the moment I left her with them, I felt completely at peace knowing she was in loving, trustworthy hands. They kept me updated every single day with how she was eating, sleeping, playing, and adjusting, which meant the world to me. They went above and beyond with her care — taking her on walks, giving her endless cuddles, attention, and comfort, and treating her as if she were their own baby. You can truly tell they have a genuine love and passion for animals. Khloe came home happy, relaxed, loved, and so well cared for. Finding someone you can fully trust with your fur baby is priceless, and I can honestly say Melinda and her husband are now Khloe’s forever sitters. We absolutely love them and highly recommend them to anyone looking for compassionate, dependable, and exceptional pet care.

Super amazing host! We are so blessed to have found her! Thank you for everything. My dog came home and I'm pretty sure he whispered in dog language that he wants to go back to Melinda's house

Melinda was great with my 2 boys. We had a meet/greet and when I went to drop off they were pulling me on their leashes to get to her. The boys really enjoyed their stay and I will be using her going forward. She kept in touch with updates and photos/short videos which eased my mind while on vacation. Great experience. Jennifer D.
