Boarding • Mar 23, 2024

We had such a wonderful experience boarding our cat with Melanie! Melanie gave us really thoughtful updates (with pictures) during our trip and was quick to respond to any of our messages. She took incredible care of our fur baby and took the time to bond with her and really get to know her personality. We enjoyed our trip completely at ease knowing our kitty was 100% well taken care of and happy. Would recommend Melanie to anyone looking for someone who will treat your fur baby as their own!

Doggy Day Care • Jan 05, 2024

Melanie was FANTASTIC! I had to make a very last minute business trip to Chicago over New Year's Eve weekend and I was frantic to find someone for Roxie to stay with all day while I was at work. Roxie has severe separation anxiety so I was worried about leaving her with someone she didn't know. Melanie responded immediately to my request, answered all my questions, and even came to pick her up from my job the first day. I was instantly at ease when I met Mel and she provided updates throughout both days of her stay. Each night when I picked up Roxie, she was relaxed so I knew she had a good day. I cannot recommend Mel highly enough. I wish she lived in my home city of NYC so I could book her for future stays!
