Melissa took real good care of our kitties while we were away. Even our shy Shelly came out to greet her. Definitely will use her again in the future.

Doggy Day Care • Aug 26, 2023

Melissa was amazing! We had a very last minute need that popped up and she was incredibly accomodating. Our doggo had a fantastic time in her farm. She sent updates all through the day which helped reasssure us; the last minute nature of our care need meant we weren't able to get a meet and greet ahead of time. Melissa is a wonderful care giver and we will definitely be contracting her again when another need arises and will be recommending her to friends.

I have known Melissa for many years. She has often cared for my pets. I love dogs and have always had several at a time. Melissa has cared for them at my home as well as taking them to her home for care. She has an overwhelming love for dogs cats, small pets and even reptiles. She spends time with them not just for feeding and walks, but also does activities and some basic training as well as play time. When she has cared for them, I always come home to find them as good if not better than when I left them. She would definitely be an asset to your company.

Melissa is great with my dogs, they love spending time with her and seem to have a fun time while I’m away. They always return home happy and healthy. I feel safe knowing my kids are safe and loved when I can’t be there.
