Melissa and her family were wonderful caring for our rambunctious dog Opal. Opal had a great time while we were away, and we will definitely use Melissa for any future sitting needs. :-)

Melissa and her family were wonderful about taking our boys during Thanksgiving! Our dogs were treated so well, and came home tired and happy. :) I would highly recommend Melissa!

Schedule

I’m a stay at home mom with two kiddos under 5 and a dog named Wishbone. He loves playing with other dogs, big or small. To be honest I think he’s a bit lonely and being around other pups makes him so happy.
