Jemima had a wonderful time again. Melanie sent such a lovely video of Jemima and her dog Nala playing together. Thanks for taking such good care of her again.

Mel was so warm and friendly. Her dog Nala is gorgeous and her and Jemima became best buddies. We did a meet and greet beforehand so Jemima was comfortable going there and Mel kept in touch with lots of videos of the fun activities they were doing. Jemima obviously had a super time. Thank you Mel ☺️

Melanie was a great host for our cockapoo, Teddy. He stayed there for a week and we got lots of photos of videos of him on long walks. He got on really well with her dog Nala. Teddy can be a bit anxious sometimes when we’re not around but I could tell that he’d been really well looked after. I’m sure he was happy and relaxed and that put our minds at ease and allowed us to enjoy our holiday. I would definitely use Melanie again for our next holiday.

Stitch had an amazing week with Mel and her dog Nala. We had daily updates including videos on how he was getting on and what they had been doing. They went on some fabulous walks all week and Stitch took a particular liking to her son Sam!! Would definitely recommend Mel, no issues at all and very grateful for looking after him. Wouldn't hesitate to use her again. Thanks Mel!
