Leaving my dog Minnie with someone new for the first time was honestly very nerve-wracking for me. She’s always been cared for by family, but since I was traveling to Puerto Rico for my wedding, I didn’t have that option this time. Melanie was absolutely amazing from start to finish. She took care of Minnie for about a week and a half and truly treated her like her own. She kept me updated every single day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away during such an important time in my life. Minnie can be a little particular, and even though she didn’t fully get along with Melanie’s dog, Melanie handled the situation so well. She was patient, attentive, and made sure Minnie was safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. I’m so grateful for the love and care she gave Minnie. I would absolutely trust Melanie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and compassionate to care for their pet.

I could not ask for anyone better to care for my Kobe! Melanie is the best! She took care of my Kobe as if he was her own.

Melanie was an AMAZING caregiver for our dog, Napoleon. She took time to get to know us and make sure everyone was comfortable with the arrangement for the boarding in her home. She took excellent care of our nervous little guy and kept us updated with photos and messages throughout his stay with her. We were nervous leaving Napoleon because he is our little fur baby and he gets so anxious around new people and other pets. But, Melanie talked us through every question and concern we had. Melanie was so good with all of Napoleon’s anxieties and nervous habits. She took him on lots of walks and to the dog park every day. She was so kind and loving to our Nappy boy. She was open and honest and we appreciated that so much! We will definitely call on Melanie again to help us with Napoleon in the future! We highly recommend her to anyone looking first first-rate, high-quality, loving care for your puppers!

We had Maz stay for over a week and Melanie did a great job getting her comfortable. She was also great with updates!
