Melanie was an amazing dog sitter! We felt very comfortable and at ease leaving our Aussie with her and her husband. It was great seeing daily updates of the activities Maverick was up to and he definitely had a fun vacation with them and got a lot of exercise! Thank you for being so great to our doggo!

Melanie did such an amazing job taking care of Knik for a last minute trip out of town. She is extremely responsive and Knik enjoyed her stay. Loved getting the updates and photos/videos. Would book with her again in a heartbeat!

Melanie, Nathan and Ollie took such great care of our boys! They came home tired and happy and looked like they had a very fun time.

Melanie was professional and reliable. She ensured we had a meet and greet before agreeing to the booking. Melanie provided daily updates and made sure my girl was loved and exercised. I highly recommend Melanie to care for your canine!
