Melanie is not JUST an incredible boarder and dog lover, but an all around beautiful human. I immediately felt at ease about leaving my big boys with her when we met. She sent amazing photos, updates, and was extremely supportive and flexible when my times had to be adjusted. I am even thinking of boarding them with her once a month just because they loved her sooo much. 100,0000,000% Recommend!

Doggy Day Care • Juli 12, 2026

Melanie was great! I reached out to her on short notice for doggy daycare and she was very communicative throughout the stay. She sent pictures and took Oakley on walks. I’d definitely book with her again and highly recommend!

Kylo had such a great time with Melanie! We received constant pictures and updates and were completely at ease during our time out of town. Melanie really loves pups and it shows! Kylo can be anxious in new environments but she seemed to settle down with Melanie in no time! Would definitely recommend Melanie/book with her again!

I cannot say enough great things about Melanie! This was my first time ever leaving Saint with her, and she completely put my mind at ease. From the moment I dropped him off, she kept me updated with messages and pictures, so I always knew how he was doing. You can truly tell she loves and cares for the dogs she watches. What really impressed me was that she noticed Saint was a little itchy and gave him a complimentary oatmeal bath without me even asking. That level of thoughtfulness and care meant so much to me. She treated him like he was her own, and as a dog mom, that’s priceless. I picked up a happy, well-cared-for pup, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Melanie has definitely earned a repeat customer—I’m already planning to book her again in a couple of weeks! If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and who goes above and beyond, look no further. I recommend her without hesitation. She is truly a 10/10.

Melanie was excellent with my anxious 7yr old lab mix. She was very accommodating & put us both at ease!
