Those of us who are dog lovers/owners, immediately recognize that quality in others. Mel will care for your beloved pet, and home, as if they were her own! She is responsible and loving: you will receive daily communication and photos. Don't hesitate to contact her; she is wonderful!

Melanie was meticulous in her care for our whippet. He thrived under her -- did not lose weight or act insecure upon our return. These are clear signs that he felt loved and attended to.

Melanie was our first dogsitting experience! We were in town for my sister's wedding and staying in a dog friendly location. Our 1.5 year old lab mix needs to be crated for his safety when we're away, but he also tends to be vocal. We hired Melanie so he wouldn't have to be alone in an unfamiliar place (and so we wouldn't get kicked out if he was unhappy about it). It was such a relief to have her staying with the dogs each night we were away. She read their profiles and was attentive to our instructions which really helped ease our nervousness about leaving them with a stranger for the first time. We will definitely reach out in the future if we need help again. Thanks Melanie!
