While I do work full time, my job is 1 mile from my home and I come home for lunch during the day and I’m home by 3:30 so pet sitting and boarding works well for my schedule.

Highly recommend. Melodie was amazing!! Polite and very welcoming. This was my 1st time leaving my dog an I was nervous but she kept me updated and sent me pictures it really eased my mind . My dog was super happy and comfortable being there with all the walks and play dates I would totally book with her again. Very pleased with the whole experience.

Melodie, was a life saver. At the last minute we needed someone to care for our Golden Retriever, while we were out of town for a full day. We contacted Melodie a few days before and she agreed to watching Fred for us. Fred had a blast! She sent us videos and photos of Fred, while he was under her care. Thank you again Melodie! Fred’s new best friend.

Melodie is an absolute gem! We were understandably apprehensive about boarding our newly adopted dog for the first time. Melodie went above and beyond to keep us informed throughout his stay. She sent us daily photographs and videos of Dallas capturing all of his cute moments 🥹 Whether he was snuggled up with her, playing with other dogs and cats or going on walks. Her unwavering attention and care truly eased our anxiety and ensured that Dallas was in the best of hands. If you’re seeking the besttttt pet sitter look no further than Melodie! We will definitely be using her services again in the future :’)
