Melissa was amazing! She boarded my dogs for a few days, and the entire process was easy, straightforward, and stress-free from start to finish. She was kind, friendly, and clearly cared about making sure my dogs were comfortable and well taken care of. It gave me peace of mind knowing they were in good hands while I was away. I would definitely recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!

Melissa is amazing!! She was able to fit us in on short notice, and right from the meet and greet, Rusty was immediately comfortable with her. She has such a nice yard for dogs to play and relax too! Rusty also seemed really happy and well cared for at pickup. I would definitely book with her again!!
