Melanie took EXCELLENT care of our fur-babies while we were out of town. Daily pictures and updates. We came home and they were sad to leave!

Melanie was an amazing dog sitter for my sweet golden baby! She knew I was very nervous about leaving her for the first time. She helped by offering frequent updates with photos. She was even willing to message my mom for me while I was on a cruise and couldn’t receive updates from her. Even though I missed my fur baby, I felt so relieved knowing she was in a loving home. ❤️

Melanie was a great dog sitter and sent multiple updates with pictures! I contacted her on short notice after another sitter canceled on me. She was very accommodating and easy to work with. I felt my dog was well cared for and enjoyed his stay with her. Will definitely be using her again whenever we need a sitter.
