Melinda took excellent care of my dog while she is injured! I hated to leave my baby but knew that Melinda was taking great care of her in my absence.

Stanley was in high spirits when I returned my my trip. He had plenty of room to run around and made friends quickly with a dog next door. Stanley has been a happy dog after pick up. Melinda gave him the attention and space needed for my trip.

Melinda took excellent care of my Scarlett while I traveled for the holiday. She was communicative and flexible with the drop off and pick up time changes as my holiday travel plans changed. My dog came home well rested and I would definitely book with her again.

We love Melinda!! Wilson is our senior pup who takes routine medicine and has a few health issues. We were worried when our sitter canceled on us a few weeks prior to our two week overseas vacation. Then we found Melinda. Wilson was right at home, spoiled and loved. She has a fenced yard so he can relax, she delivered his meals and medicine appropriately and sent us updates and pictures along the way. When we got back I think he wanted to stay with her! Haha! We highly recommend Melinda and wouldn’t hesitate to use her in the future!
