“We booked Maria for a 10-day trip and couldn’t be happier with the care she provided our pup! She went above and beyond—sending daily photos and videos that truly put our minds at ease while we were away. It was clear our dog was not just being looked after, but was genuinely loved and spoiled the entire time. Her communication was consistent. We came home to a happy, healthy dog who clearly adored her time with Maria. Highly recommend and will absolutely book again!”
“Denean was very nice to meet. My dog took to her right and my dog seemed happy when I picked her up! I will be reaching out to Denean for future bookings! We also received pictures upon request. Thank you, Denean!!”
“Yulia is the best dog sitter I’ve ever had! My dog is skittish and frequently feels unsafe in unknown places. Surprisingly, he wiggled his tale and went straight to her on arrival. Upon pick up, he didn’t even want to leave! I’ve also received updates and photos of my fur baby during the stay and he looked soo happy. Looking forward to future bookings!”
“Julie, Natalie, and their family were the best! They kept us updated on Zeus’ time with them and even got him dressed up in bunny ears for the Easter holiday. I felt so at ease with Zeus in their home and will definitely be booking with them again!”
“We would high recommend Jonai! She was great with our dog, sent many pictures and videos and provided a great weekend getaway for our dog so we didn’t have to worry. We would high recommend and will use again if the need arises.”
“Tiffany has such a kind heart. She does very well with our Daisy. It was nice to be able to use her services. In doing so, I was able to go out of state for my MIL life celebration. I did not worry about Daisy. I knew she was in good hands”
“Can’t be more grateful to Booke for the services offered. She always went above and beyond proving necessities for my Pet’s stay. Buddy felt so loved that he started missing Brooke. Must say Buddy has found a second home and will certainly be my go to for future. Thanks Brooke for all you did!”
“Jennifer was fantastic. She was super responsive, and communicated often with pics and texts. Jasper seemed quite comfortable staying, playing and sleeping at Jennifer’s home and with her two dogs. Will return!”
“As always our dogs were well loved and came home happy! Lindsey is our favorite boarder. Always responsive and sends us photos and videos which our kids LOVE. Thank you for keeping our fur babies while we are away!”
“Katie and her family were wonderful taking care of our two pups for 3 weeks. They knew how to approach our dogs and their needs and really helped our dogs to have a great time and become truly comfortable around kids for the first time. One of our dogs became fast friends with their dog as well. Katie updated us throughout our trip with photos and any questions they had. So thrilled we found them to take care of our fur babies when we're out of town. Couldn't recommend more!”
“I would give 10 stars if I could! Carrington and her family are amazing. My business trip consisted of flight cancellations, long delays, and heavy traffic. Carrington was so warm and understanding. She provided updates and photos at every request. I also had a flat tire when I arrived to drop off Charlie, and her husband changed my tire. I got home safely and with a happy pup! Highly recommended!”

He was also very understanding and accommodating when I had to reschedule pickup due to an unforeseen situation. On top of that, he responded to messages very quickly. I’d definitely book with him again!”

This was my first time leaving our puppy, Jiji, and Keyuana made it so much easier. Knowing she and her husband Al were caring for her gave me real peace of mind. They're so sweet and attentive! Keyuana sent thoughtful updates so I always knew how Jiji was doing. When my flight was delayed, they were incredibly gracious and flexible about the later pickup. Jiji came home happy and well loved. We'll definitely be booking with them again!
Breanna was great with my puppy! My older dog had to have emergency eye surgery and I was headed out of town the next day. I thought it would be too much on my mother to care for both of my fur babies, so I reached out to Breanna. She was able to meet me on short notice before booking. Very communicative and kept me updated on my pup’s activities. I would definitely recommend.
Can’t be more grateful to Booke for the services offered. She always went above and beyond proving necessities for my Pet’s stay. Buddy felt so loved that he started missing Brooke. Must say Buddy has found a second home and will certainly be my go to for future. Thanks Brooke for all you did!
**Rachel and her family took amazing care of our puppy and treated her like she was part of their family. They even took the time to work with her on leash walking, which we really appreciated. We received updates throughout her stay, and it gave us great peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. Thank you again for everything! We would 100% book with Rachel again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.**
Kerry and Michael were incredibly kind and took wonderful care of Galleta. She came home happy and relaxed, and they constantly shared photos and updates, which gave us a lot of tranquility while we were away. Thank you both for being such excellent hosts , we truly appreciate it.
Sagun was great and Max had a great time during his stay. This was my first time leaving Max and Sagun made it so much easier. She kept me well informed and sent photos of how he was doing. This was a trial run for out family vacation at the end of the month and I feel so much better now leaving him since I know he will be in great hands and well cared for. Thanks Sagun!!
We used Jay & Caitlin again recently for a last minute family emergency, and they were amazing. They responded quickly and were incredibly accommodating on short notice, which took a huge weight off our shoulders during a stressful time. Just like before, communication was great, and they kept us updated with messages and photos. It’s such a relief knowing we have people we can trust when unexpected situations come up. We’re so grateful for their help and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for dependable, caring sitters!
We had an excellent experience with Tyra while she cared for our dog, Kona, for a two-week stay. Kona was incredibly well taken care of and clearly had a blast with Tyra and her family—it truly felt like a home away from home. Tyra’s communication was consistent and thoughtful throughout our time away, which gave us great peace of mind. She was also very flexible and attentive in adjusting to Kona’s schedule and needs, which we truly appreciated. We couldn’t have asked for a better boarding experience and will absolutely be booking with Tyra again. Highly recommend!
We had a great experience with Akin. We received constant updates throughout our time away, which gave us so much peace of mind. When we picked Khaleesi up, she was calm, happy, and clearly very well cared for. It was obvious she felt comfortable and content the entire stay. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend Akin to anyone looking for attentive, reliable care.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Melissa home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Melissa.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Melissa sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
