Melissa helped us out with overnight dog sitting during spring break after another sitter canceled on us last minute. We are so grateful she was willing to help! She took great care of Honey and we would absolutely book with her again.

We had a wonderful boarding experience with Melissa. When our original pet sitter fell through last minute, Melissa stepped in. She was kind, friendly and responsive. Melissa took excellent care of our pup and sent pictures too. We would definitely use Melissa's services again.

Melissa is 10/10. She did such an amazing job with our Higgins, we were sad to break them apart. The bond that they shared was so sweet because she included him as part of her family. Melissa is the perfect choice to book and we high recommend her with the utmost 5 stars.

We absolutely had the best experience with Melissa. She kept us updated and sent photos of her spoiling our Dog. I would highly recommend her for care of your fur babies.

Melissa was the best sitter and graciously took my dog upon a last minute request. She treated Milkshake like her very own, who was spoiled from all the cuddle time from Melissa’s son. Melissa was also very communicative, provided regular updates, and had a lovely, clean, and safe home for milkshake. Highly recommend!!!
