If we could give Melissa 100 stars we would! She was so good to our dog Freddy! This was the first time we went on a trip and not worried about our dog! Melissa went over and beyond to take care of Freddy and gave him so much loved while we went on a trip. Freddy is very timid and shy dog and she was able make him feel comfortable and he loves her. Melissa also went over and beyond to communicate with me on a daily basis and when I was worried about our electricity going out during the heat wave that happened in our area, she made sure I knew Freddy was good and it wasn’t too hot in our house and the electricity was working which gave me peace of mind. We are so impressed with her and will definitely will be using her services again! Thank you so much Melissa!!!!

Melissa was a wonderful host for our dog over the long weekend! The photos and updates Melissa provided were great to let us know our dog was getting lots of walks and snuggles (her two favorite things). Melissa was very flexible about coordinating a drop off and pick up time.

Melissa goes over and beyond to take care of the dogs. I love receiving her photos and seeing how happy our babies are. We come back to happy dogs and a clean house. We have used her before and will continue to do so in the future.
