Melissa was amazing! My dog was a little anxious at first, but Melissa was so great at helping her feel comfortable and get settled. She was also great with communication and sent lots of pictures. I’ll definitely book with her again!

Melissa is absolutely amazing. She took care of my frienchie for 3 days. Always kept it touch, sending me photos and details. I will definitely trust my dog to get again and again. Very nice person!

Melissa is very polite and friendly. Simba really enjoyed the weekend; he was treated like a prince and got to sleep on the bed and the sofa—things he isn't allowed to do at home. So, it was a great weekend for him.

Melissa is seriously the best! She is such a genuinely nice person, super responsible, reliable, and someone I completely trust. I would feel comfortable trusting her with absolutely anything! She’s caring, dependable, and just an all-around great person. I can’t recommend Melissa enough- anyone would be lucky to have her!

A truly loving and compassionate pet caregiver. Melissa treat every animal like family, providing genuine care, attention, patience, and plenty of love. I would highly recommend her for caring for my pet while I’m away.

Schedule

I currently work remotely from home in beautiful Lauderdale By The Sea, and have the flexibility to spend time throughout the day with pets either playing or walking. Either in your home or my home. I live in a condo that allows 2 dogs and only a half mile from the beach to allow a nice walk for your pet
