Monty was SO happy at Melanie’s! He walked right in to her spotless home and made himself comfortable. He loved all of his walks and we loved the twice daily updates So happy we found Melanie.

We felt so comfortable leaving our dog and truly appreciated the daily updates. It was clear he was well cared for and happy, and seeing how relaxed and content he was when we picked him up meant everything. We’d absolutely recommend!
