I think our dog likes when we go on vacation as much as we do because she gets to stay with Melanie. She treats our dog like a part of her family and is a pleasure to work with - the best sitter you could hope to have!

Melanie is our favorite dog sitter. Our dogs love her and so do we! We really enjoy the pictures and videos she sends frequently. She’s a gem who nurtures our fur babies. So glad we found her💙

This was our first time using Rover and we had the best experience with Melanie! She is very accommodating and sent pictures and videos while we were away. Our dog Daisy had the best time playing with her dogs and using the doggie doors. Melanie took great care of Daisy and we highly recommend her!

Melanie was so great and kind. Sent me pictures and videos and sadly Koda manipulated her into thinking he always sleeps on the bed, lol. Her property and home are set up perfect for dogs to have area to roam and be safe too. Thanks Melanie!

Our pups love going to Melanies’s! She takes care of them like they’re her own. They love her dogs too and the doggie door and great fenced in yard. Can’t say enough wonderful things about Melanie. She is very flexible and understanding with drop off and pick up changes too as we had a lot of unexpected changes on our schedule this last time.
