Melissa would be awesome as a dog sitter. She's watched my dogs and Friends dogs many times and our dogs couldn't be happier to see her when she comes in the door. She's watched my American Staffordshire Terrier, my golden retriever, my pitbull, and she's watched my friends Golden Lab, pug, and her Border Collie. So she's been around a lot of different types of dogs and they all seem to adore her. She's very calm with them and they seem to feel that when she comes in the door. Always well taken care of until I get back from vacation Etc. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her or to have her watch my dogs again in the future.
