Melanie is great, we recommend her 100%. We needed a house sitting last minute. She fed our pets according to the instructions we left and respected our home. She kept us updated with pictures which really provided us peace of mind.

Melanie is super responsible and responsive, and took good care of my cat, who I found well and happy on my return. I will request her services again!

Melanie was very responsive, caring and flexible. Her home is clean and welcoming with a nice wooded back yard. Her dog, though not super social, was very gracious in sharing his home. Melanie even generously brushed our golden retriever (in full shed season) and noticed and administered medicine for our girl’s chronic ear infections. Would highly recommend Melanie and would definitely use her again!
