Melanie took great care of my dog. She has separation anxiety and Melanie comforted her and my dog was able to be calm and happy while I was gone.

Melanie was great! He was very responsive and flexible and is clearly a dog lover. We will definitely bring Max back to her.

This was the second time we have left our very loved dog with Melanie. I would happily and confidently recommend her to anyone who needs a loving and caring home to leave their pet with for a bit. You will be glad you made that choice!

I would highly recommend Melanie for taking great care of your pet. The communication throughout Yodie’s stay was so comforting and put me at ease. Yodie was well cared for and I am very grateful.

Melanie was great and so helpful to take my pup for boarding - it was a last minute request and my travel schedule changed frequently. Melanie was flexible with her schedule to handle the changes to my travel schedule. Melanie had an extra dog bed, toys and her dog for my pup to play with. Instant love!
