Melissa is the absolute best and we always feel so confident knowing Nyx is in such amazing hands! We always tell him he’s going on vacation everytime we drop him off with Melissa because we know it feels like exactly that to him! He always arrives so happy to see her and so happy when we come back! Melissa provides us with peace of mind by sending many updates and videos! We love seeing him having so much fun while we are away! It makes us feel comfortable leaving him knowing he’s being taken care of and is having the time of his life! We love Melissa!

As usual, having Melissa watch over Bella while I was gone, took away all my anxiety about leaving her. She updated me on everything and even worked with me when my return flight was delayed.

Melissa watched our pup Nyx for a little less than a week while we went on a cruise and was amazing!! She sent updates every day, asked questions if anything came up and really made us feel like he was on a mini vacation too! It was amazing and I cannot recommend her enough!! Thank you for treating our little guy so well!!

We have used Melissa's services multiple times, both for day care as well as boarding. We could not recommend Melissa more highly, she treats your pet as her own. We are able to leave Bella with Melissa and vacation with complete confidence that our pet is in good hands and loves going to Melissa's house!
