Melanie is kind and caring to pets AND their owners. I was ill recently and Melanie took good care of my puggle Miley. Nice to have one less thing to worry about and know your pet is safe and in good hands.

Melanie is awesome! This was the first time we ever used a professional cat sitter. I was at ease the entire time we were away, because I knew our cat was in great hands! Thanks again Melanie

Report
We have used NoHo Petsitters every vacation since 2012. Melanie has provided love and care for our cats and communicates with us often. A few years ago, our returning flight was cancelled due to a hurricane. We immediately contacted Melanie and she put our minds at ease, caring for our cats until we arrived home.

Melanie is so quick to respond to emails and calls when I'm in need of petsitting for my little kitty cat. The ease of contacting her is just one example of her professionalism in all aspects of the service she provides. Melanie has taken excellent care of my cat on all visits, and I feel completely at ease knowing how very trustworthy, caring and reliable she is. She offers very reasonable rates as well. I highly r.ecommend Melanie as the area's best petsitter.
