About Melinda
Experience: 10 yrs
Hello families and furbabies. My name is Mindy and I am a natural born animal lover with experience in being a vet tech for some time and experience in dog and cat sitting. . I have rescued many of my own pets and showed them how much love, kindness and gentleness they deserve. I like to think of my house as home away from home for your fur baby. I will ensure that your loved one is safe, comfortable, engaged and extremely happy as I care for them. I will provide trail walks, neighborhood walks, playtime, cuddles and snuggle time plus visits to the dog park per your permission and of course we ll end our fun-filled day with a puppachino. I have excellent references and have over 35 years of experience in caring for animals. Please reach out to me if you think I would be a good match for you and your fur baby. I'm excited to meet you! Thank you for your time.

We have also had a wonderful experience having Mindy care for our cat while we were out of town. She was always punctual and dependable, and we really appreciated that she would communicate with us when she arrived and keep us updated during her visits. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our cat was in good hands while we were away. She was always so sweet and caring with our cat, and went above and beyond when we needed help during one of our trips. We had an unexpected issue come up while we were away, and she was incredibly helpful in making sure everything was taken care of. We truly appreciated her reliability, communication, and genuine care for our pet. We would absolutely recommend her for pet care and would happily have her look after our cat again!
