Melanie was very communicative with pictures every day. She was also flexible when my flight was delayed to ensure Timmy was taken care of.

Melanie watched our 3 dogs for 2 weeks and did a great job. Sent plenty of pix. It helped a lot knowing that she had been a vet tech, l since one of the dogs developed a hotspot while we were away. I highly recommend Melanie!!

Melanie was INCREDIBLE with my girl, Violet. She was super communicative with me, sent picture updates throughout her stay, and genuinely seemed to love my dog. I would highly recommend booking a stay with Melanie for your babies! 💜

Melanie was great feeding our cat twice a day for a week while we were out of town. Our cat can be shy or unsure around strangers but Melanie made quick friends with her and ensured she got love and attention and pets while we were away. She also did a great job keeping the litter box clean and refilling the water. We got multiple pictures everyday and I felt like our kitty was in good hands. Thanks Melanie!! :)

Melanie was so great! We had our baby girl boarded with her while we were away and she treated our girl so sweet the whole week! We got pictures all through the week and updates to how she was doing!! We will definitely be using her again when we go out town!

We hired Melanie to look after our family dog Nala while I tend to my 2 year old and my newborn. She was awesome and very trustworthy. Great help. Left everything tidy after Nalas mess and took very well care of her. We’ll definitely hire Melanie again.
