Melissa is absolutely wonderful!! She took amazing care of our energetic Aussie while we were gone on a 9-day trip. She sent us daily updates and pictures, which we loved! When our flight home got cancelled, she was so understanding and flexible, which made a stressful situation much easier. Our dog can be timid when meeting new people, but he warmed up to Melissa very quickly and it’s obvious that he feels very comfortable with her! I cannot recommend her enough as a sitter for your pups! If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares and is incredibly reliable, Melissa is the person for you!

Melissa watched our pup, Ozzie, for us while we were out of town for almost a week. She was absolutely amazing! Ozzie can be a bit of a nervous dog, but he warmed up to her so quickly and had a wonderful time at her house! Melissa sent us pictures, videos, and updates everyday we were gone, which we greatly appreciated. I highly recommend having Melissa care for your dogs!

Melissa was friendly, and did a great job with Mozy. She sent me pictures every day to keep me updated. I appreciate that.
