Melissa is always amazing with Theo. He would stay forever if he could! She gives him lots of play time and plenty of love and attention. I always know he’s safe with her!

Melissa took amazing care of our dog, Theo! She was incredibly sweet and responsive, and provided picture and video updates. Theo absolutely loved that he had a backyard to play in and someone to help him get his energy out!
