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!

Melissa gave great care and attention to my dog Kuma! She made sure he got lots of play and exercise, and provided me with many updates, pictures, and videos! Her communication was great and I would rebook with her!

5th time using Melissa, and we could not be happier with her services. This was a scary time for us, as we left on a 5 day cruise and were out of touch with Melissa for the most part. Melissa trreated Bella as if she were her pup, and we picked Bella up after 5 days very happy and well cared for. If you are looking for day care or boarding services for your pet, you absolutely could not go wrong choosing Melissa!
