She was wonderful with my dog. This was the first time there and she loved it. It means a lot to me that my dog is loved like that because she is my comfort dog for when I lost my wife. Also, it is close to the freeway so it is very convenient when I travel. I would recommend her for anyone that wants their dog loved with tender loving care.

I would highly recommend Melissa for your pet watching needs. We left our dog with her for a week, and had zero concerns with the care he would receive from her. She even took the time to check in with us and give updates with how he was doing.

Melissa and her family welcomed Rambo like one of their own pets. Melissa was very kind and caring for Rambo and I would definitely have Rambo stay with them again. Thanks Melissa.

Melissa is timely, responsible, and proactive. For more than a decade, I have interacted with her as she has cared for her own and others' animals with attention and fun love. She has experience with breeds large and small - from huskies and shepherds to teddy bear breeds and mixes.
