Trustworthy Attorney/Works at Home
Pet care experience
I am an estates and trusts attorney who mostly works from home in North Reston and loves dogs. Since I am able to work from home, I have a lot of flexibility. I have adopted several wonderful dogs from Lab Rescue, ranging from younger pups to senior dogs. My first black lab was with me for over 15 years and was a certified Canine Good Citizen - she was also a tripod in her later years due to bone cancer in her back leg. All of my dogs have successfully completed obedience training. I am patient with dogs of all breeds, and understand their special needs. I lost my 15 yr old choc lab Maggie In 2018, who I adopted from Lab Rescue when she was 7. I now have Lola, a 5-yr old lab mix who I adopted from Lost Dog Rescue. Lola Is very sweet and gets along well with other dogs. I crate my dogs anytime that I leave the house to avoid unwanted accidents, so your dog would need to be crate trained (I have a large-sized extra crate available). Owner must provide vaccine records indicating current DHPP and Bordatella, Rabies Certificate, and flea/tick preventative.
Reviews
Henry had a great time with Melinda and her dog Lola! You may ask how do you know? Well, when Henry was leaving Melinda’s home, he sat down at the front door porch and did not want to leave. We’ll definitely use Melinda again!
Mindy is very warm and welcoming! She made us feel confident our dog was in caring hands while we were away. Regular pictures & communication, flexibility in pick up & drop off and overall joy in caring for our Ginger!! Thank you!!
Great care at the last minute. Very welcoming
Annie had a great time staying with Mindy and Maggie. She loved her long walks and daily apple slices! Mindy was very easy to work with, and I would definitely bring Annie back for another stay.

I walk my dog every day for 20-30 minutes. I am a dog whisperer, who pays attention to when they want to go out, go for a walk, eat dinner or play.
