Melissa was amazing! Took such great care of our boy. Cooper absolutely loved his time with her, and we loved the receiving the pupdates throughout the day! Would 100% recommend

Melissa is like Rolos 2nd mum ☺️ He seems to act the same around Melissa to how he is with me. It’s such a relief to know Rolo and our house is being taken care of. Always 5 stars for Melissa ⭐️

Melissa stayed at ours for a long weekend and looked after Rolo again. We get lots of videos and photos and I can tell he is happy and content. Melissa treats him like her own dog, with lots of love and continues obedience training on walks. It’s so nice to go away and not have to worry about Rolo, we knows he’s being looked after. Thank you Melissa

Melissa looked after Rolo again last weekend, she shared photos all weekend to show how Rolo was getting on. He looked very relaxed and his usual goofy self. Our house was left immaculate as always. Rolo is always nice and chilled when we get back from holiday. Thank you Melissa! Don’t know what we would do without you.

This is the 4th time Melissa has looked after Rolo. We get regular videos and photos of their adventures together and it’s so reassuring to know he’s being so well looked after. We trust Melissa with our staffie and our hous and recommend Melissa to look after your dog. (As long as it doesn’t clash when we want to go away 🤣)
