Reviews
Melissa was great with our dogs and cat. She communicated well with pictures. She went above and beyond with one of our dogs that wasn’t feeling well.
Melissa was an amazing dog sitter! She was friendly, professional and prompt at our meet and greet. She kept me updated the entire stay with the pups and provided excellent care. Would definitely recommend her and rebook with her!
Melissa was absolutely fantastic with our 9-week-old puppy, Norman. We reached out on short notice, and she was able to accommodate us, which we truly appreciated. She arrived early (which we loved), did a thorough meet-and-greet, and made sure she fully understood his routine and training cues before we left. Norman warmed up to her right away, which told us a lot about her calm and caring presence. As new puppy parents, that meant a great deal to us. Throughout the evening she was very communicative and sent photos, giving us real peace of mind. Norman is still potty training and had one accident — Melissa handled it completely professionally. She cleaned everything up, rinsed his soiled blanket, and hung it to dry. That level of care and attention really stood out. We felt completely confident leaving him in her hands and would absolutely book Melissa again. Highly recommend.
She was very kind and polite during the meet and greet, carefully reviewed my detailed instructions, and asked many questions, which gave me confidence going in. I also left printed instructions for reference. She communicated during the stay and showed up as scheduled. Despite this, there were still some miscommunications and unexpected situations, which may not be an issue for all dogs but were challenging for my highly anxious dog and for me as the owner. In the end, everything worked out.
