8. Melinda O.
About: As a life-long lover of animals, I’ve taken care of my own cats, dogs, horses, birds and other small animals my whole life. I have recently begun pet sitting for others and find that I really enjoy the opportunity to meet and spend time with other people’s pets. I’m currently semi-retired, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets while you are away. I’d love to keep them company and make sure they don’t miss any meals while you are away. I will spend time with your pets in your home and send you daily photos so you can see how they are doing while you are away.

14. Matt A.
About: I was a founding board member of a 501(c)3 non-profit dog rescue based out of Flint. Between that and growing up on a farm, I have experience with everything from bottle feeding 6 day old puppies around the clock, to senior dogs that need special care, and everything in between. I am home regularly, and very active - lots of walks - and very attentive. I can give medications, work on basic training, or just give your four-legged family member some quality time out walking or on the couch while you're away. I am extremely passionate about giving the animals in my life, and hopefully yours as well, the best life possible. I have pets of my own, and for the most part always have since I was a kid. There has never been a world where putting another creature’s needs before my own was anything but a given. I am available off and on throughout the day, and for boarding I rarely have blocks of time more than 3-4 hours where I am away. I am available for both drop in visits in your home, or boarding in mine. I have a fenced in yard, and I am rarely away from the home for more than a few hours at a time.
