Ms. Melissa C. , Welcomed my fur baby with a full caring loving heart over the weekend! She went over the moon and back for my pup baby Chad! This was my first time ever leaving my pup with a complete stranger. She kept me in the know step by step via text messages and pictures day to day. I appreciate that so much! She and her family were such a Blessing to us! I know Chad was enjoying being there well in there Hime, I could see it in his smile in his pictures. ☺️ I would choose her always to care for my fur baby, forever! Thank you Melissa C. 🥰🫶🙌

Excellent care Melissa took excellent care of my two fur babies. She provided a few pictures showing that they were adjusting to being with her. The next she let me know that they were doing well. When I picked them up both puppies were playful and happy.

It’s always a pleasure having my fur baby stay with Melissa. I have used her multiple times and my baby loves to hang out with her and her son. Highly recommend! She is definitely my first choice.

I’m convinced our dog loves Melissa more than us! She takes such good care of him and he’s always so excited when we get to her house and so sad to leave. We moved three hours away but still make the trip to bring our fur baby to Melissa when we go out of town because we know no one else will give him as much love!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in back yard, I treat the pets that I am keeping like my own. I don't kennel pets unless the owners want that. I let the dogs roam part of my house while gone!
