Boarding • Jul 05, 2026

We have a 16 year old dog has never been left with a stranger. We were nervous to leave him but Melli’s exceptional care quickly put us at ease. She asked great questions, took time to understand his unique needs, and gave him lots of personal attention. I appreciated her good communication before and during his stay. If we ever need to leave him again, we will certainly be sure to book Melli!

Millie took exceptional care of our dog, Kailey. It was immediately clear how much she truly loves animals, and that gave us great peace of mind while we were away. She sent regular updates and photos, which we really appreciated and looked forward to. Kailey was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We would absolutely recommend Millie and would love to have her watch Kailey again

Melli is fabulous. We were nervous about leaving Kailey for my daughter’s wedding but were relaxed as we knew she was in tremendous hands with Melli. Melli is an experienced professional that was a delight to deal with, took tremendous care of our baby while sending amazing photos and updates. We will definitely be using her in the future and couldn’t recommend her more!

Melli stayed at our house for five overnights with our three dogs and three cats and we couldn't have been more pleased. When we met her in person before our trip she gave us a very high comfort level and when we returned all was fine and our home cleaner than how we left it. We would highly recommend Melli!

There would need to be 10 stars to rate Melli high enough for what she provides! We had a unique situation, and she helped us with groceries, errands, and caring for our sweet girl. She was an extension of our family!

Melli is a dream and worth every penny. She is detail-oriented and has one focus - the health and welfare of your family. Hire her...don't hesitate. I will be doing so again.
