Three weeks! We were gone for extended travels and our pup stayed with Melanie. He was happy to see us, but not overly, which I take as good news. His time with Melanie and other dogs was really good for him. He was easier and more calm at our usual dog park. I think Melanie polished some of his rough edges. Highly recommend Melanie

Melanie is an amazing caretaker. Roland thoroughly enjoyed his stay and we could not have been happier knowing that he was in such good hands.

Bonnie can be a handful but Melanie is so good with her. We learn lots from her. Thanks Melanie.

Information Melanie J. would like to know about your pet

I board as many as 3 dogs at a time. I need to know exactly how well your pup gets along with other dogs. Not just at home but at the off leash park and indoors. If you board with me there will likely be other dogs in the house as well. I do not generally give dogs people food, but need to know of allergies or food intolerances. I would also love to know what (commands) your pet already knows. Words familiar to both you and your fur baby. My favorites: "rover" come, sit, stay, leave it, enough (barking).

A typical day

We live in a very residential neighborhood. I enjoy taking long walks. We also have a fully fenced in back yard. I try to keep a variety of toys for all size dogs. Playing with puppies (young and old) running around in the back yard is always fun. If all dogs in my care can eat treats I will hide them for a seek and find game.
