Melissa and her husband did an amazing job watching our fur babies while I went to my graduation. She listened to my concerns and made sure our babies were safe and comfortable the whole time. I highly recommend!

We had an amazing experience with Melissa as our dog sitter! We’ve actually booked her twice now, and she’s officially our go-to dog sitter whenever we travel for work. She did an amazing job taking care of our 3 miniature dachshunds, which isn’t always easy, but she handled them perfectly! 🐶🐶🐶 She is very well connected and knowledgeable, which gives us so much peace of mind while we’re away. Throughout the day, she sends pictures and videos, which we absolutely love it makes us feel like we’re still right there with our pups! ❤️ You can truly tell she cares and treats them like her own. We highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and reliable. We’ll definitely continue booking with her!

Best stay for my Buddy💙 and Mia🩷 My doggies were so loved. I received daily photos of all their stay and them interacting with the family! Thank you Melissa ❤️

Melissa was great! Our dogs were well taken care of and they loved the big yard to play in.

Melissa is great! This was the second time I booked with her. She takes great care of my dog Digit as if he was her own. She gave him baths when he had “accidents” and gave me peace of mind when I was on vacation. I will continue to book with her when I need to leave town. Thank you!

Let me know if there are schedules, the dos and don'ts. Don't want to change anything that you already do at home. I want to make the transition as easy and less stressful for you and your fur baby. To take care of senior dogs or a special needs dog, all I need is your special and precise instructions.
