Safety, trust & environment

I have a dog, Calvin, that would love to come play with your dog during visits. However, he's also perfectly content in his car just watching the world go by if you prefer a dog free visit.

Melissa went above and beyond with my two cats. She was very attentive, thorough, and accommodating and even managed to win over my skittish/shy cat which doesn’t happen often!

I was so nervous about leaving Ethel with someone new, but Melissa was wonderful. She really pays attention, and cares about the animals in her charge, and the comfort of the owners. Five stars!

Melissa is amazing with my pup, and I trust her absolutely to make sure he is safe. Unlike how closely she pays attention to my dog and always lets me know if she suspects anything wrong. I strongly recommend her services. Thank you Melissa!!!!
