Melissa did a great job with my Sasha & left my home in mint condition. Care instructions were followed to the letter, took lots of photos & left notes on how Sasha was doing. At one point when I checked in on them, I saw Melissa was wiping Sasha‘s eye boogies🥹 I have another trip towards the end of the year, I know exactly who I’ll be booking with. Thanks Melissa! 💐

"Written" by Eloise, THE CAT. "Melissa was an excellent human companion for my 16-year-old, highly refined self. As a cat of very particular standards, I require not only punctual meals, but also a warm body in the guest room for overnight warmth. Melissa graciously accepted the role of designated bed partner and did not disappoint. Most importantly, breakfast was served on time — every time. We even sent my mom a helpful morning selfie with my face inches from Melissa's to let everyone know the day had officially begun. When my mother returned, the house was exactly as she left it (you’re welcome), and I was perfectly content, well-fed, and minimally inconvenienced. Was I happy to see Mom? Naturally. I demonstrated this in the most appropriate way possible: by waking Mom promptly at 5:00 AM!

Melissa was great with communication and was on time. Was able to schedule her last minute with no issues.

Currently working part-time and a UCF student. I love animals and always have! One fun fact is a lot of owners that say their animals aren’t usually nice to new faces, their pet has liked me automatically

I always have enjoyed being around animals. I’ve taught my own dog tricks and to be nice around food since beagles are food driven animals.
