I know Melanie through friends of friends. She has pet/housesat for us three times. She always super reliable, conscientious and a great communicator. We especially appreciate the photo and video updates!! She even goes above and beyond and once bought our kids’ gerbils new chew toys 🥹 Our house is always immaculate when we get back, way cleaner than how we leave it. I’d recommend her without hesitation!
