I can't say enough about my experience with Melissa. Entrusting your dogs to a stranger is nerve racking and scary to say the least. I'm not a fan of putting my dog in a "Pet Hotel" as I've seen the conditions of some in my area and I don't want to put added stress on my dog, so having them at home is ideal. After meeting Melissa, seeing her interact, walk and play with our dogs and seeing how well they took to her, we have a Chihuahua and a 50 lb mixed breed, I felt much more comfortable having Melissa watch them. Melissa watched our dogs overnight for 2 days and to say I was pleased with her and the experience is an understatement. Not only were our dogs very well taken care of, but so was our home. Our big dog was shedding and our hardwood floors were immaculate as Melissa had kept them clean and made sure they were clean when we arrived home. Each time Melissa comes to watch our dogs, they run to her, are so excited and honestly, are more well behaved with her then with us. I highly recommend Melissa as she is honest, very clean, patient and a delight to have in our home.
