Reviews
Zelda, our black lab, just had another great stay with Melanie S. We are so happy that we've found a place where Zelda feels safe and cared for. She was so excited to be back at Melanie's she didn't even notice my husband leaving after dropping her off!
Zelda had a great time staying with Melanie and her family. It was so much fun for her to have Prada around to play with. I think Zelda was sad to come home!
Melanie is a wonderful accommodating sitter. We always know our dog is in good hands with her.
Our dog just spent a week with Melanie and her family. He seemed so happy and well cared for. Couldn’t recommend them more highly!!!! Got lots of photos and she was super flexible and let us pick him up late in the evening. Wooul definitely use her again!!

Information Melanie S. would like to know about your pet
It's helpful to know your preference for how often the dog goes for walks and if s/he is an escape artist. Please let me know if your dog dislikes small children as special arrangements will need to be made. **Currently we are not taking aggressive dogs and dogs that bark a lot. *** We prefer dogs that have crate trained and are not allowed on the furniture at home. If you do allow them on the furniture we have a separate room where dogs are allowed on the couch etc.
