Attentive WFM Pet Lover!

I’m a caring, dependable, and active pet lover who enjoys spending time with both dogs and cats. I currently live without any pets, so my full attention will be focused on yours by sending you many pictures, keeping you up to date on how they’re doing and scheduling a meet and greet to ensure I can provide the best care for your pet. I offer walks and drop-in visits, including feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of love. I have experience taking care of friend’s pets which include dogs, cats, rabbits and hamsters, as well as volunteering at local animal shelters for the past 3 years.

Melinda is amazing. My dog loved going on walks with her. She sent plenty of photos and a summary at the end of each walk. Highly recommend!

I couldn't be happier with the care Mel provided for my dog, Billy, while I was away. Mel's attention to detail, love for animals, and responsible nature made me feel at ease throughout my time apart from Billy. Not only did Mel ensure that Billy's basic needs were met, but she went above and beyond to keep Billy entertained, happy, and well-exercised.

Melinda and I have been friends since high school, and she has had a lot of experience walking my childhood dogs. My dogs, a maltese and a german shepherd, love Melinda and always are so excited to see her car pull up to our house.

41 to 100 lbs

Melinda can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
Let me know if there’s any special requests such as behaviors, medical history etc. that would be helpful for me to know beforehand so I can keep that in mind and prepare for any situations that may arise.
