Wow - Melanie was fantastic! She has a very calm vibe overall and after meeting her we knew our cats would be in good hands. She took great care of our cats and our home while we were away and sent daily update texts and pics that helped a lot for my husband's homesickness and missing them while we were away. We will definitely want to book with Melanie again in the future.

Melanie was amazing! She watched our dog for five days. He has terrible separation anxiety and she did amazing with him. Our house was immaculate and she sent daily updates. She is so responsible. We are So happy. We used her! Highly recommend!

Melanie was great! She stopped over to get reacquainted with Cooper and was eager to let Cooper be his odd little self. She was great about checking in and communication. We hope to have her back.

Our second experience having Melanie house sit with our pups was as good as the first. She is communicative, punctual, and dependable. We have another trip in 6 weeks, and we know that Melanie will care for our dogs and we can travel worry free. We highly recommend her!
