Melissa and her family are wonderful caregivers. Our Old Man Othello is happy with them, we will always leave our baby with her. Thank you

Melissa did a great job caring for my fur babies. She made sure they were comfortable and they had a great time. She took care of them just like they were her own, and provided pictures and videos during their stay. I definitely recommend that you trust her and her family to care for your babies.

Athena has found her second home! We have used Melissa and have always felt we can be worry-free and know that our puppy will be loved as much as we love her! She's family here! We appreciate the daily updates and photos, and we especially love that her children snuggle and sleep with her! Melissa has been the best choice for us and will be our go-to! We had to modify our schedule and she was super flexible and easy to communicate and assist. I can't express enough gratitude for the service we and our pup has received! 💗🐾💗

Melissa did an EXCELLENT job with my dog. I hate leaving him with anyone, she reassured me that he would be in good hands. I received multiple pictures, and she allowed him to have as close to his home environment as possible, which made him very comfortable. I will definitely be using her services again.

We have left our Scrubby with Melissa 3 times and is always pleased with her care. We know Scrubby is going to be well taken care of and loved!
