We were a little anxious leaving Coco for two weeks since she had never been boarded before, but Melinda and her family completely put us at ease. They took such wonderful care of her, and the daily updates and photos meant so much to us. It was clear Coco was happy, comfortable, and in great hands the entire time. We’ll absolutely be booking with Melinda again for our next trip—highly recommend!

Melinda took outstanding care of our puppy! She’s trustworthy, communicates clearly, and shared timely photos and updates. She is also wonderful to work with. I would highly recommend her!

We had an excellent experience with Melinda. She too great care of Winnie. This was our first experience leaving Winnie overnight so we were very thankful that Melinda suggested a meet and greet beforehand so Winnie could become familiar and comfortable before we left her overnight. Melinda was great with providing pictures and updates throughout the stay. We would definitely book with her again!
