Melissa you were amazing and so caring with our Buddy. This was our first time ever leaving him and you was so attentive and cared as if he was your own. I can’t wait to have Melissa watch him in the future. He came home so happy and was so tired from playing with his buds.

Doggy Day Care • Jun 08, 2026

Melissa was fantastic! She was very accommodating when I asked if we could do a meet & greet before our doggie daycare. She was very welcoming to our 6 month old pup and made sure my husband and I felt reassured. She sent text to me during our pet’s stay and she did a great job of accommodating our special requests to make sure our pup felt at home. I would definitely use Melissa’s services again when in the Nashville area. Thanks Melissa!!

Did not show up, it could be an app glitch but she claims that my paid appointment never made it to her

Melissa and her family took exceptional care of our dog, George. He’s typically very anxious, but Melissa kept us reassured and updated, letting us know he was adjusting beautifully and feeling right at home. It gave us such peace of mind, and we will definitely be using her again.

Having two dogs myself, I will need to know if your pet will be fine with other dogs. I will be sure to provide a safe environment for all pets. Also please inform me of any health concerns you have. Daily schedule of your pet will help to keep them on a normal schedule and reduce stress while you’re gone.
