Melissa is a wonderful care taker for Jolly. She is professional, kind and reliable. Really puts my mind at ease while I I'm at work. Jolly loves her.

I’ve known Melissa for many years, and I can wholeheartedly recommend her as a responsible, loving, and trustworthy pet caregiver. She is extremely reliable and has had many beloved pets of her own throughout the years, so her love and understanding of animals truly comes naturally to her. She recently took in a stray cat who absolutely adores her, which says so much about the kind of care and love she gives to animals. I would feel completely comfortable trusting Melissa with any pet and know they would be treated with patience, kindness, and genuine affection. Any pet parent would be lucky to have her care for their furry family member!

My husband and I have used Melissa multiple times now to watch our two large pups, (American bully & Foxhound) & she was wonderful! They just loved her. She treats them as if they were her own. She exceeded all expectations and did everything we asked of her as far as schedules & care. We highly recommend her services!

I had Melissa watch my little shih poo Gracie. She was on time, very kind and caring. Gracie loves her. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for an amazing person to watch our "little ones". She will be our go to gal in the future. Thank you Melissa!
