“Trudy is absolutely amazing. Trudy house sat our little Mabel For 3 days in our home. We received many updates and lots of photos. We highly recommend using Trudy for your pet needs. Such a lovely caring and fun Lady. Looking forward to using you again ❤️”


“I was anxious about leaving our dog, Louie, with someone new, as he’s only ever been babysat by my parents. From the moment Melanie arrived, I could tell Louie felt comfortable with her. She provided regular updates and pictures, which truly put my mind at ease. It was clear Louie was happy and well cared for the entire time. On top of that, Melanie went above and beyond by leaving our house spotless — it was such a nice surprise to come home to. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and Louie is already excited for her next visit. I would highly recommend Melanie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

I am very patient and will always take the time to gain your pets trust. I will always be respectful of your wishes and treat you pet as if he or she was mine.
