Melanie was amazing!! She looked after our 9 month old German Shepherd for nearly a full day/night on short notice, and was wonderful in every way. She was terrific to communicate with, sent photos throughout the day, and ensured our pets were very well taken care of. We had full peace of mind knowing she was here, and would gladly hire her again!!

We had such a great experience having Melanie look after our dog, Finn, while we were out at the game last night. Finn had spinal surgery in early February, so this was our first time leaving him with a sitter since then — and we couldn’t have felt more comfortable. Melanie took the time to come by the day before to go through everything, asked all the right questions, and made sure she understood his routine and needs. During the visit, she followed all instructions perfectly, sent photos, and provided frequent updates, which gave us total peace of mind. It was clear Finn was in great hands the entire time. We would 100% recommend Melanie and will definitely be using her again!
