Ratings and reviews
Melissa was fantastic! Super communicative and accommodating, and also left my house in perfect shape. My cat was in such a great mood when I got back from being away, and I know it’s because Melissa was so good to her. Will definitely booker her again!
So, so grateful to Melissa for staying in my place and watching my Ozzy while I was away for a weeklong trip. Melissa is a great communicator, very easy going and flexible. I knew Ozzy was in great hands, which made being away from him easier. She sent videos of my guy snuggling her and happy which I loved. When my flight home was unexpectedly canceled, I was totally panicked about who would be able to care for Ozzy, and she was so, so kind and comforting, able to shift her plans and watch him an additional night. She left my apartment in perfect condition with a happy dog waiting for me when I got home. Would love to book again in the future!
Melissa is a wonderful dog and house sitter. We feel so comfortable leaving our dog in her care!
Melissa is a wonderful house and dogsitter. She’s watched our dog, Ed, a couple times and we’re always so happy with the updates we get and the condition of the house when we get back.
Melissa was great! Super helpful and made sure the boys were happy and healthy!
Melissa was great with Luca and would be happy to work with her again. Highly recommend!
