I highly recommend Melissa as a responsible caretaker for any pet (dog or cat). Melissa is an experienced dog walker and knows how to treat her pets with love. I was in a pinch to have someone watch my boxer, Derby, for a holiday weekend and Melissa made it easy and even came to pick Derby up. Besides the daily text messages that provided updates on my dog, Melissa was quick to respond when setting up the appointment and was able to spend quality time with my dog at the park. I was nervous leaving my dog for the first time, even if it was just a weekend, but shortly after handing Derby off to Melissa, I knew she was in good hands, which allowed me to enjoy my trip.
