Melanie is wonderful! Very attentive to our cats and goes above and beyond to care for them, including our diabetic cat who can be fidgety. Would absolutely recommend Melanie!

Melanie has been awesome with my dogs! She always gives them lots of attention and is especially great with Brady, who needs a little extra care. Highly recommend!

Melanie did a fantastic job with my 105 lb goofy Newfie. Luna was happy and playful while in Melanie's care. She treated her like the queen that she is. I am so grateful for the care she took while I was aware. I would rebook her in a heartbeat.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs

Melanie can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
During meet and greets, I have some set questions I will ask if these are not covered. For example, I want to know if your animal is on any medication or supplements. I will also ask what their feeding schedules are and the amounts. For dogs, I will ask what their potty schedule. For cats, I will ask the location of their litter boxes. I also want to know what treats I shoukd give them. Forbid there is anu emergencies, I always ask what vet you bring them to. Your pet’s happiness and safety are my top priorities.
