Melissa is a kind, caring, and dependable caregiver for all animals. She is extremely reliable and consistent with every arrangement we make with her. She’s not only a dog lover—she has also cared for our cat and horses with the same wonderful attention and care. Melissa has been caring for our animals for several years whenever we leave town, and we have complete confidence in her. She is responsible, trustworthy, and genuinely loves animals. I highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for someone to care for their dogs or other pets. You can feel confident knowing your animals are in good hands with her.
