Boarding • Sep 03, 2026

Melinda was fantastic! We really prefer to have boarding that feels like home for our pups, where they're free to be with the family, cuddle, and take naps on the bed. Melinda and family checked all those boxes, keeping the dogs occupied, taking them out for walks and drives, and being very responsive. One of our dogs wasn't used to cats but we were able to do a meet and greet and get a sense for how it would be. It was a non-issue as Nico was very chill and kept to himself. We'd be happy to book again!

Dog Walking • Aug 13, 2026

Melinda took a last minute walk request and did great with our two pups! Would definitely have her walk them again.

Melinda did a fantastic job! Kobe and Scout had a great time, they came back happy and very well cared for. Melinda was responsive, sent photo updates and took them hiking. We will definitely rebook.

I have known Melinda for a long time, she is a loving and caring person. She loves all kind of pets such as cats, dogs, birds, etc, and enjoys playing with and taking care of them whenever she came across one. I highly recommend Melinda as a responsible and loving pet caregiver.

Melinda has always been reliable and caring. I would trust her with any of my pets! She looked after my cats while I was out of time and kept me updated throughout the entire time. I’ve never had any doubts or concerns.

Melinda is an absolutely wonderful, responsible, and loving caregiver. She took care of my dog, Luna, and treated her like family. I felt completely at ease knowing Luna was safe, happy, and getting plenty of affection. I highly recommend Melinda to anyone looking for top-notch pet care!
