Truly cannot say enough good things about Melanie! She has a fantastic setup for all furry friends to have their own space, or to roam the fenced-in yard via the doggy door. But not only that, she is also very flexible and communicative, always sends the best pictures and videos, and we can really tell that she cares about and is so sweet to our Sasha girl which is the most important of all! Her own pups Buster and Jen are just the icing on the cake, and by how excited Sasha gets we know that whenever she goes to visit, she really is just part of the whole pack that is Melanie’s wonderful little family.

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💙
