Mel was great, she did a fantastic job taking care of our Nessie, you could see Nessie really liked Mel and we loved getting all the pictures and report cards for each and every visit. Would highly recommend Mel and will be happy to reach out to her next time we need a sitter or walker.

House Sitting • oct. 27, 2024

Mel is nothing short of amazing. I have a special needs dog who requires daily bleach soaks, foot washes and both topical and oral medications. I was terrified to leave the country for two weeks. Mel went above and beyond in her care for Bandida. She sent me regular updates photos And videos and I felt that Bandida was being cared for in the way that I care for her. Mel even bought her these adorable onesies for her to wear to bed so that she no longer has to wear her cone. I can’t recommend Mel enough! So excited we found her.

Mel communicated well, and always kept me informed. We only utilized her walking service this trip, but plan to use her for house/dog sitting in the future.

I like to prepare a list of questions before the meet and greet so I can get the general - medical sense for your pet like: Pet peeves, allergies, and medical problems in general to medication to logging them. Was (s)he a rescue? How long have you had him/her. Little but BIG things that I should know.
