“There are no words to describe how lovely Melinda is. So kind, helpful, loving and playful with our puppy. She provided him an excellent exercise and care session after a day of travel. We feel like we’ve found “family” and we just met her! If you need help with a pet and she’s available, it will be the best choice ever, seriously. We are so grateful and pleased.”

About: I’ve taken care of and raised dogs since I was young. From family pets to pack type dogs on farms that I worked with. I walk and play with my dog River a ton everyday. We typically walk 2-4 miles a day if the weather is nice. He is wonderful with other dogs and has tons of friends, from puppies to older dogs. I have plenty of crate training and on leash experience. I can also separate the animals easily without crates if needed. I am currently available for full time pet care. Let me know what works best for you. Weekends are usually the easiest for me, but no preference overall. Scheduling further in advance is preferred but not necessary. I’m typically up and walking my dog by 7:30 am so any routine or communication works fine with me. Typically I wake up and let the dogs outside immediately. Then play a little, then it’s breakfast time according to the dogs’ feeding schedule. After breakfast I usually relax and pet the dogs awhile before taking them on a walk that’s best suited for them. I also have a nice fenced in yard for them.
