24/7care of small dogs under 25lbs
Pet care experience
My husband and I are not only nurses, but animal lovers! Our clean, non-smoking, child-free home has an open floor plan with wood/tiled floors and a spacious enclosed patio with pool for bug free play. There is a fully fenced grassy area for them to use for play or if they aren't able to be walked. We are fully insured with our own kennel insurance. Our doggy daycare spots are currently full, we will update when there is an opening. 24/7 supervision with no set business hours to worry about. We only take dogs under 25 pounds so your medium and tiny babies are safe from being stepped on or hurt by larger dogs (not that we don't love the big guys, there just isn't enough space here). We are unable to take several breeds, even if they are a puppy. Please see the list of breeds we do not take in the "What Mellisa and Todd would like to know about your dog" section. We will be happy to care for guests in the same family (sorry no cats) with a multiple dog discount on boarding. We do require vaccination records on all visitors. It is easy to find us, take exit 107 off Interstate 75 or use HWY 41 and we are just off Pine Ridge Rd in Central/North Naples. We are very flexible with drop off and pickup times. You will not be charged an extra day if picking up in the evening (we know life happens). Dog guests will be supervised closely around the swimming pool. They can swim with parental permission only. We have XS, S and M sized life jackets available. Our neighborhood has so many dogs that our guests are sure to make a friend! Guests will be walked in our beautiful neighborhood in the morning, evening and anytime they ask. We have a stroller available for those that tire easily. Feeding will be on whatever their usual times are with you providing their food (special diets are no problem). We only serve filtered water to our guests and I am trained in the use of essential oils which we diffuse to improve the doggies stay. We have many years of experience caring for shy/anxious; blind/deaf, diabetic, elderly, arthritic/paralyzed dogs and pups recovering from surgery/illness. Medication; shots, pills, creams, drops and dressing changes are provided as needed. If your pup needs 24 hour care while recovering from surgery or illness, we are happy to help. Healthy pooches are welcome too! We will ensure that each guest receives plenty of cuddles and attention (they can even sleep in our bed)! Our two rescue pups are very calm and enjoy playing with our guests. You will receive photos and videos daily so that you can be assured your pup is enjoying their vacation! We look forward to caring for your precious furbabies!
Reviews
Melissa and Todd always take great care our dog. She is always so excited when she gets dropped off and in great shape when she gets picked up. We get daily pictures and updates. They are always flexible with drop off and pick up schedules. We trust our furry little one to her and you should too.
Always responsive/always trustworthy!
Melissa and Todd were a pleasure to work with. Our very active 18- month maltese was returned to us happy and exhausted. That's a good thing, because our Minnie has an over-abundance of energy, and she will play till she drops. We give Mellisa and Todd our highest recommendation and will definitely use them again. Bella and Dan
Becca LOVES Melissa and Todd! And they are really nice to humans, too. Becca has stayed there multiple times.

Information Mellisa and Todd E. would like to know about your pet
We only take small and medium sized pups with most of our guests being under 25 lbs. We can not take puppies who will grow to be over 25 lbs as adults. Breeds we are unable to take; Labrador, Border Collie, Old English Sheepdog, Hunting Breeds, Coon Hounds, Blood Hounds, Australian Shepherd, German Shepard, Pit Bulls, American Bull dog, Akita, Rottweiler, Doberman, Husky, Chow Chow, Eskimo, Bernese Mountain dog, Great Dane, Mastiff, Newfoundland, Great Pyrenees, Saint Bernard or Boxers EVEN IF THEY ARE PUPPIES. We evaluate new guests by having a meet and greet at our house before their visit. This is so we can assess temperament and our own doggies reaction. It also helps the dogs relax quicker since they have been here before and know it is a safe place.
A typical day
Dogs are walked in our quiet neighborhood. We have a completely fenced area for elderly and pups whose medical conditions prevent strenuous activity. The dogs are never let into this or the pool area without supervision. We swim with those who want to but don't encourage fearful pups, life jackets are available. We have puzzles and interactive games for inside play. Light massage is provided before bed each night if they like along with aromatherapy. We do everything we can to ensure our guests follow their usual routine to provided them comfort.
