Melissa is a wonderful dog sitter! We’ve used her for dog sitting at our house multiple times and have always been so happy with the experience! We always come home to happy pups and can’t recommend her enough!

Melissa is a wonderful, reliable dog sitter! We have used her many times to watch our two pups and she always does a great job! They love her and we always come home to two happy pups and a clean house! Would highly recommend.

Melissa is a great dog sitter! She is very reliable and we loved all the photo updates of our pups while she kept them knowing they were happy and well cared for! Would definitely recommend her to others!

Melissa took such great care of our three pups, two of which require more attention due to their age. She sent updates and photos during her visit with them and even offered to stay an extra hour when our event ran behind. We felt so at ease having her care for our pups and it genuinely couldn’t have gone any better! We will absolutely be booking with her again very soon!
