Melissa did a phenomenal job in caring for my mildly-neurotic Shiba Inu. Fuji was given the attention he needs. He didn't want to leave her care!!! I trust my the care of my dog to A Pet's Best Friend anyday! Thanks, Melissa!!

Melissa and her crew of sitters take great care of our cats when we're out of town. We always know that the cats are getting throughly spoiled and are well taken care of. It's one less thing that we need to worry about so we can enjoy our vacation!

I have been using Melissa and her staff for over 8 years. After a week away I come home to calm, happy pets. I will never board again as long as I have Melissa!

LUV it! Way less hassle than boarding, and such cute reviews of our pets days to read after we return.

Melissa & Staff are trustworthy, caring and ultra-competent. Our dogs Bodi & Joey love their daily walks with Marilyn. She is like an extended part of their family.

My wife and I are so happy that we used Melissa and her team when we went out of town for a week. When we got home, our dogs looked great, the house looked great and our mail/papers were neatly gathered and stored. Next time we go out of town we will call Melissa before we call the airlines!

I've used Melissa and A Pet's Best Friend for 8 years to sit for my two kitties. They are dependable, thorough and reliable. I have never had a problem and am totally confident that when I leave, my kitties and my house are in good hands. It makes for a more relaxing vacation knowing that things at home are well taken care of!

My first time using A Pet's Best Friend was over Christmas of 2006....Blizzard Central! Despite unplowed streets and piles of snow, my sitter was dedicated enough to park six blocks away and walk to our place to take care of our kitties. Now THAT is dedication! They are great to work with and really care about my pets. I'e recommended them to all my friends!

Melissa and her staff are wonderful with our dog. He loves going for walks with them. They are so nice and caring. We don't worry about our dog at all because we know he is getting really good care. They are the best!
