Our dogs loved their stay at Melissa's. They were pampered and had the full run of the place while we were gone. Melissa made sure to check in with us daily, sending pics and videos of them playing, sleeping, eating etc. Would definitely book again - Thanks Melissa

I had to leave my baby girl with Melissa for 6 days. She updated me with text messages and photos. From the time I dropped her off until she was picked up, I never once worried about her! Of course I missed her, but never worried her!!! I've got more out of town trips planned this summer, Melissa will definitely be my go to!!!!!💕💕💕🐾🐶

Melissa is the best! She understands dogs and is so patient and caring. She took wonderful care of our rescue pup for a week. I was nervous to leave him for the first time, but he loved it with Melissa and her pack, and everything went great. I will definitely book with Melissa again!

This was the first time Gertie had been taken care of outside of our home. Melissa sent us updates, pictures and videos of Gertie while we were gone. It was over the holidays and Gertie even got 2 gifts from Melissa and her family. We would be very comfortable and happy to have Melissa take care of her again the next time we go on vacation.
