“Great pet sitter! Our dogs are always super happy when she sits for us. She’s great at keeping us updated and sending us pictures. We never have to worry when she’s pet sitting for us!”


“Melanie is absolutely amazing!!! She is without a doubt the Mary Poppins/Dog Whisperer for all pets! We have 2 golden doodles who have really never been alone for more than a few hours as my husband works from home. We were invited on a 10 day cruise to Alaska and were so stressed out as we were not going to leave our pups in a kennel and having someone come “check” on them daily was not going to work either. Finding Melanie was a godsend. Besides spoiling your pets with love, your pets will be happy and not stressed. My girls ate daily, and warmed up to Melanie instantly. We came back late last night and the girls have been looking for her. Melanie communicates daily and my house was cleaner when we came home than when we left. I am so thankful for Melanie because not having to stress about our pups when we were gone was a huge deal. We will be requesting/using Melanie for all future trips. Thank you so much Melanie!!!”


“Zachary was absolutely fantastic with our pets! They were so relaxed and happy while we were away, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was looking after them. He was such a pleasure to work with, and we’ll definitely be reaching out to him again. Blu and Jif send their thanks for taking such good care of them! 🐾”


“Mikayla was great with Louie! Even when we ran into an issue with him not feeling well, her quick response and care was so appreciated! We loved having her stay at home knowing he was well cared for.”


“Very happy with how she took care of our dogs! Very good at communicating with us throughout the entire time, and the dogs seemed to really enjoy having her around. Was respectful of our house and cleaned up after the dogs too!”


“Anna did a great job with our two puppies and under unusual circumstances because the maintenance people needed access to our townhome while she was there to fix an electrical issue so they were in an out. She was very communicative and it was great to have her. I’ve had her watch a dog of mine before and was impressed now as I was then. Thanks Anna!”


About: I have taken care of my family and neighbors dogs before while they have been out of town. They have relied on me for walks, potty breaks and feedings. I’m currently working full time, but during my free time after work I usually go to my neighbors house to play with there dog and take it for a walk. I also like to go home and cuddle up with my cat Make sure there is a fenced in backyard or make sure there dog is always on a leash and keep an eye on there pet.

“Reiah exceeded my expectations! She stopped by to meet the boys days prior to staying at my place. I had a list of how to feed the boys, walks, bed, etc. she read them and understood. She sent videos and photos while we were gone with the boys and offered to be at my home when I arrived back home. She was personable and the boys loved her! I felt very comfortable having her take care of my fur babies! I can’t say enough great things about her! 💯 satisfied with her services!! Will definitely be hiring her again! - Renee”
