“Wow! Just amazing. I wanted to give 10 stars ⭐️!! Melissa allowed for me to book at the last minute prior to vacation. Literally days! She has the sweetest energy and provides reassurance from the first moment of interaction. She put all my worries to rest as this was my first time boarding my pup. I will always call on Melissa as my furever sitter 🩵.”

“This couple was great. They allowed me to see how my dog interacted with their dogs before I left so I felt very comfortable with the entire situation. They sent several pix/updates while I was away and when I picked up my dog I could tell he was well cared for. I would have this couple care for my dog again without hesitation.”
