Melinda was amazing! She sent daily updates and pictures and we felt super comfortable leaving our dog with her. We will be booking with her again!

Melinda was a perfect holiday host for Gertrude while I was in Mexico. She made her feel safe and as close to at home as possible. Her huge yard was perfect for rainy days and she took Gertie on tons of walks to the many parks around her neighborhood. Will use again for sure.

My dog Zoey enjoyed her time with Melinda M and both Zoey and my wife and I are grateful for the exceptional care that Melinda M provided during our boarding session of 9 days. Lots of daily pictures of Zoey playing with all her toys for us to enjoy during our time away. We were somewhat apprehensive as we have never left Zoey alone with anyone other than family and friends, but we did a meet and greet two times prior to our vacation and that seemed to put my wife and I at ease. One never knows how their pet/s will be when they are away. Thanks Melinda M for a job well done and my wife and I recommend Melinda M for any of your pet's needs!

Melinda did a great job with Sheba. Even though it was very cold Melinda got Sheba outside to get exercise. She did a great job of learning about Sheba and understanding how to best take care of her

Melinda was great, sent lots of pictures of Teddy and great communication. He is a busy puppy but played with him despite the subzero temperatures. We will definitely use her again. Thank you🥰
