What Our Pet Parents Say

"Melissa has been a house sitter and dog sitter for me and my husband (and our two basenjis) several times and she is the absolute best. Not only does she take note of preferences and care instructions but she also always shares updates while we’re gone and our dogs adore her. The house somehow always looks cleaner when we got back than when we left, too! Cannot recommend her enough. The best dog sitter and house sitter we’ve ever had!"

- Kayce & Aaron (parents of Marti & Maison)

"Melissa and Dan have been helping me with my dog for about 5 years now and they truly are the best! I’ve had them stay over with Peanut (my dog) for long stays, one nighters, and do short visits and walks. They are really great about checking in, sending pictures, and making sure they have all the info and doing everything the way you (and your pets) want it. My dog is super picky and anxious and particular about everything and both Dan and Melissa are so good and understanding with her (and me!). They are patient with her on walks and lets her sniff every blade of grass and understands when she eats that no one can move until she’s done 😂. My dog has recently gotten sick and Melissa has been wonderful with giving Peanut all her meds (pills and liquids) and following all the schedules and my wild directions about food and seasonings as well as keeping up with recording all the information for vet visits. She lets me know how much food Peanut has been eating, how she did going potty, how the meds went, and anything else that may seem out of the ordinary or additional helpful information. With Peanut getting sick, there was a lot more added to her plate and she jumped right in to help and have been so caring and kind through it all. I honestly worry less having Peanut being with Melissa or Dan than I do when Peanut is with my own family! They really are the best!"

"Mint Leash Club is amazing!! Melissa has done fabulous work with our pups during both sittings and walks. One of our dogs is reactive & has separation anxiety, while the other is a very high energy greeter. She asks great and detailed questions before starting to help get the full pictures of the pups’ routines, schedules, behaviors, and triggers. She follows all the written instructions we have left, and she has even worked on our dogs separation anxiety program and PT exercises. She is very responsive, organized, and friendly! 15/10 would recommend her for any of your pet’s needs!!!"

- Becky (parent of Luke & Pete)

"We love Melissa! I can’t imagine anyone better suited or more diligent to care for my dog Ellie! Ellie is always thrilled to see Melissa!"

- Elizabeth (parent of Ellie)

"I couldn't ask for a better dog sitter than Melissa! Her experience as a pet owner truly shines through in how she cares for our dog, Oakley. Melissa is one of the most responsible and trustworthy caretakers I know, and I never have to worry about Oakley's well-being when she's on duty. She usually stays at my house and always leaves it spotless. It's such a relief knowing Oakley is in such good hands!"

- Kara (parent of Oakley)

"We have two dogs that couldn’t be more dissimilar. A 15 pound, 15 year old, standoffish grump and a 70 pound, 2 year old bowling ball who has to say hello to every dog she sees. Both pups love their time with Melissa! We know that the dogs and our house are in the best of hands when we’re out of town and wouldn’t trust anyone else with our fur-babies."
