Melissa & Hiten looked after Jim and Nina’s pets & home
We are delighted to provide the strongest possible reference for Melissa and Hiten who took exceptional care of our home and aging golden doodle Roxy from January 3-20, 2025. This is the second time we used Melissa and she is always polite, professional, caring, and it is clear she is deeply passionate about what she does. Melissa was attentive and caring with Roxy. She diligently followed Roxy’s strict diet, exercise and medication routines and provided daily updates and pictures. Melissa was also an excellent house sitter. She kept our home spotless, handled the mail and deliveries, and took care of other household tasks. Without hesitation, I strongly recommend Melissa for any pet or house sitting needs. Her professionalism, experience, and caring nature make her a true gem and we plan to use her again and again.
