My experience

As a dog lover and lifetime dog owner, I feel very comfortable with indoor pets. I adore outdoor ones also, just haven't had many experiences with them. Cuddling and conversing with dogs or cats is second nature to me. I combine useful

Melinda cared for our pets and plants while we were away for 10 days. I really liked knowing that she was around to give them the attention they needed. When

Melinda was absolute joy. She took care of our dogs like they were her very own. There was a thunderstorm the night we left (our dogs are afraid of thunder)

Melinda performed an excellent job as a pet and house sitter in our home. She followed our instruction to the smallest details regarding how to take care of our two chihuahuas. One of them needs to take medication two times a day and the other one is super timid but still Melinda managed to keep them happy and loved them as her own. She sent us updates and photos of them while we were away and she was always available when we reached out to check on our four legged children. She kept the house nice and neat and made sure she left nothing but good energy behind when she completed her stay. We highly recommend her to take care of your home and pets.

About Melinda

Why I want to house sit

I enjoy different landscapes and different people and animals. I also enjoy the ways people decorate their home, and create a feeling of mini vacation. Dogs have been my friends since I could walk and they are an every day part of my life
