We had a great experience working with Melanie! She was attentive, caring, and kept us updated throughout our pet (Kash’s) stay. We really appreciated the regular pictures and messages showing how he was doing, it gave us so much peace of mind. Kash was well cared for, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!

Melanie is amazing! We had an impromptu trip to the beach and it was too hot for the doggo. She was super responsive and has the perfect place for dogs to go! Will use her again if I’m heading to the beach!
