Melissa took excellent care of Benji, while we were away. She was patient with him and made him feel right at home. We will definitely rebook her in the near future!

We will definitely book with Melissa again! She was great! She accommodated a same day booking for me due to another sitter canceling. She gave me updates throughout my pups stay! I will always recommend Melissa!

Melissa was a godsend!! I had someone cancel on me at the last moment, and arranged a last minute booking with her. She sent updates and photos of my Zeus, and he had her fur baby Abby to keep him company. I hope I can get Melissa to keep my Zeus in the future.

Schedule

Abby and I enjoy daily morning and evening walks and hope to have furry friends to join us. We love playing fetch in our fenced in backyard complete with a six foot privacy fence. I have a lot of flexibility with my work and can be available for lunch time potty breaks as needed.
