Melissa was amazing. She even helped my father in law after his dog sitter cancelled the night before we left. She kept me updated through out the trip and sent me tons of pictures. Bandit settled in well and was very reasonably priced. We will definitely be going through her again and sending everyone her way. She was seriously the best and we never once questioned how he was being treated.
