Just returned from visiting family for Christmas and Melinda did an excellent job caring for our senior kitty. I continue to be impressed with her kindness and attention to detail. She’s hands-down the best pet sitter we have hired, I can’t recommend her highly enough!

Emily Petty

We had a few pet sitters cancel on us for our 3 goldens until we found Melinda. She completed the necessary forms and visited again before our trip. I appreciated the updates and pictures showing how happy the dogs were. We’ve hired Melinda twice and highly recommend her, as do Dodger, Puna, and Maggie.

Nancy Patterson

I will never leave my pets in anyone else's care. Top notch, professional!!! Thanks for taking such great care of my girls!!! 10 Stars

Tom Lane

Melinda was very professional and reliable caring for my cat while I was away. She came by my house every day while I was gone, text me when she arrived, and would text me pictures of Lucy. She went above and beyond what I expected by also watering my plants, taking out the trash can, and befriending Lucy. I highly recommend her services.

Cindra O'Leary

Jannell Boyle

I am so lucky to have found Melinda! I was very anxious about leaving Kimchi to travel, and I knew right away that Melinda was a great match! She texted me at every visit and sent photos to ease my mind. When I got home Kimchi was a very happy boy! I am definitely going to use Stay and Play Pet Sitting again. Thank you Melinda.

Michele Gilly

After researching pet sitters, I chose Melinda to care for my four cats for a week. Her love for animals and frequent updates eased my worries. She followed my instructions perfectly and handled everything, including litter boxes and watering my plants. Despite my initial skepticism about a stranger in my home, Melinda provided the peace of mind I needed. I highly recommend her!

Jessica Yeremian

We were away for 2 nights and had our 2 dogs looked after at home. One requires medicine and eye drops and both need a lot of attention. The service was excellent and we were notified of every visit and several pictures were sent. This made it easier to relax on our weekend away. We would definitely use the service again and would suggest it to others.

Steve Eldridge

We couldn't be happier with Melinda's care for our golden retriever, Gracie, and our cat, Scooter. She ensured our pets and home were safe. Daily photos and texts brought us comfort. Our pets were clearly happy, which eased our worries. We look forward to Melinda's next visit and will gladly recommend Stay and Play Pet Sitting. Our neighbors praised her too! She's a wonderful pet sitter!

Kathy Leichty

Melinda is a wonderful pet sitter who truly does stay and play. She always brings toys for our kitties and plays with them. She took the time to get to know both cats and cater to their individual needs. 100% recommend!

I love the daily pictures, videos and updates that Melinda sends while I am away. Seeing my fur babies play and being loved on makes my heart happy when I am missing them!!

Sindermann, Lisa

I highly recommend Stay and Play! With our senior cats on special diets, boarding isn't an option. Finding Stay and Play Pet Sitting has been a blessing, giving us peace of mind while traveling. Melinda has done an excellent job with our kitties and will be my first choice for future pet sitting.

We hired Melinda to care for our dog Cheddar during my surgery, and it was a relief knowing he was in good hands. She understood Cheddar's needs and sent me cute photos. Afterward, I received brownies, a lovely card, and an adorable photo of Cheddar! Thank you, Melinda, for the excellent care and thoughtful gift. We will definitely use you again!

Alana Vaxman

Melinda is always on time, she's reliable, and I can always count on her when she says she's going to be there. Shelby absolutely loves her and is always so excited when she sees Melinda. Shelby is still a puppy and I know I'm leaving my baby in good hands with Melinda.

I’ve been using Melinda’s services for nearly a year, and she truly cares for my dog. When I needed last-minute help, she visited twice a day and kept me updated with pictures.
