So thankful for Melanie! She was flexible with last minute plans and changes and I picked up a happy puppy after our trip :)

Melanie was wonderful with Timber and gave us a lot of peace of mind as new dog owners. She was caring, communicative, and treated him like her own. Timber came home happy and well cared for. We would definitely use her again and highly recommend her.

Queenie was well taken care of. I would definitely recommend Melanie and her family. She is one tired dog but we know she had a great time.
