“We love Kathleen! When I tell you that I don’t give my dogs a second thought when I drop them off…I don’t! She truly cares for them like they are her own. She’s also very flexible if your pick up/drop off time changes. Tons of pictures all the time! We will never go elsewhere. ♥️.”

We highly recommend Melissa for pet sitting/boarding! Thank you, Melissa!”
