Fort Greene Dog Home

Pet care experience

I live in a good sized apartment just a block away from Fort Greene park. I walk my little dah hound Penny there daily and will make sure your dog gets to appreciate the park too! She gets along great with other dogs and I work from home so can make sure your pup gets lots of attention all day while you’re away. Friends always have me watch their dogs and I love having a pack with me About this sitter: I am usually the person my friends call up to watch their pet- cats and dogs. Love animals and have had both large and small dogs throughout my life (grew up with a rottweiler/lab mix). I currently have a mini dachshund named Penny. I am available for both walking and watching your pet for a more extended period of time here in Brooklyn.

Melinda was great once again with Simba. He was eager to be with her and I felt very at ease. Will book again!

Melinda is very patient with my 1 year old basenji. He has separation anxiety and Melinda helps me pick him up from daycare and settles him down at home. And followed every of my instructions while communicating really well. Highly recommended.

Melinda was great with Simba! He can be nervous at first, and she really helped him feel at ease. She sent pictures and videos, which I really appreciated. She also has a really cute dog and it was so cute to see the dogs play! I’d definitely book her again.
