Melissa is awesome! Super responsive and communicative while watching my cat. She followed his (complicated) feeding instructions and sent me lots of updates. Highly recommend!

Melissa was amazing - went above and beyond when caring for our cat Toast and even helped with some deliveries arriving when we were out of town. Reliable, punctual and communicative the whole time! Will use again in the future!
