Melissa was wonderful with our dog and took great care of him while we were away traveling. She kept us updated, gave him lots of attention, and made sure he was happy and well cared for. He also loved having a doggie playmate during his stay, which made the experience even better. We came home to a happy pup and would definitely trust Melissa to watch him again!

Melissa has been amazing with communication and was able to accommodate last-minute requests with my dogs, one of whom can be a little challenging due to his separation anxiety. My dogs had a blast with her! I would highly recommend her and will absolutely continue using her services when she’s available.

Melissa is an amazing pet sitter who will treat your animal like her own. She is organized, responsible and is a great communicator. I would trust Melissa with my dog any day. Highly recommend.
