Melanie did an amazing job caring for Killy and Laga. She arrived as scheduled and took great care of the dogs and house. I definitely recommend using her services!

Melanie was very nice and she did a great job with our dog Star who was very much at home with her!! She messaged us every day and sent us some great pictures of Star!!! It is a great feeling when you are away to know that your dog is well cared for. We would definitely bring Star back to Melanie if we need a dog sitter.

Melanie was fantastic! Super communicative, kind and clearly loves any animal in her home. Her home was very clean and set up well to host pups.
