Pet care experience

I've had dogs in my life since I was a baby. I've been the person to take them on walks, groom, etc. I've cared for my cat and dog, I do their grooming, the dogs training and have learned from a service dog trainer. I've had my dog since she was 3 months old and my cat since she was 8 weeks old. I've pet sat for friends multiple times.

Melissa is our go to for watching Homer! She is so attentive and communicative. We love all the photos of Homer having a great time.

Melissa was such a great host for Homer. She took such great care of him and made him feel at home. She was attentive and sent plenty of photos and videos. Will definitely use her again to board Homer as he had such a great time!

They were so nice. Dunk'n had a great time and they even sent photos and gave check-ins daily! We hit some REALLY bad traffic on our way back from Thanksgiving vacation and they were so understanding about not being able to get back on time. Highly recommend! So glad we chose them!

Melissa has been trimming the nails of my dog for a year now and does a wonderful job! They're never crooked and they're always rounded! She's also watched my dog several times and she comes back just as happy as when I left! Melissa does a really great job and is very detail driven!
