Melanie was amazing per usual! She always treats Otis as if he was her own. We appreciate her in more ways than she knows. 🤎

As always Melanie does a great job watching our 2 dogs. This time when we went to drop them off, the dogs ran to her house

Melanie is a wonder sitter. Bella loves her and is comfortable in her home and that means the world to me when I’m traveling. It’s hard to leave our pets but it truly helps to know they are in great hands!
