This was our first experience with Gigi (Aussiedoodle) going to stay with Melanie and we couldn't have been more pleased! We loved the family atmosphere and the dog friendly attitude of this household. We're so glad we connected.

She is the best! My dogs run straight to her house the second I park. She treats them like her own and I couldn't ask for anything better! 🥰
