Melani and her daughters are awesome! We booked on short notice, but they were so kind and accommodating to us and our 6 month old pup, Bodie. We received plenty of pictures and never once did I worry that he wasn't getting loved on and taken care of. Their dog, Ricardo, was also amazing; very patient and gentle with our dog who is still learning how to socialize and interact with other dogs. This was our first time using Rover and Bodie's first time away from us for an extended period of time and I'm so grateful that his time was spent with Melani and her fam 🥰.

Thank you! We just moved here and finding sitters is nerve wracking. Thank you for taking care of my girl!

Melani and her daughters are amazing! We have a 10 lb pomerian/shitzu mix and they gave her great care and love while we were gone for almost two weeks. We also loved that our small dog had the chance to be socialized with her Great Dane, who is a gentle giant and was great with our little dog! I will definitely be reaching out again whenever we need someone to watch our dog. Highly recommend!

Doggy Day Care • Jun 29, 2026

My usual dog sitter quit on me less than 24 hours before I needed to drop Jordan off for doggy daycare since I was working 10+ hour shifts and Melani SAVED the day. She was so patient with him and attentive. She made him feel at home and he warmed up to her so well! She also sent a TON of pictures which I appreciated as an anxiety filled dog mom. 10/10 will recommend and will absolutely go back to when needed.

Highly recommended — Reliable and attentive! Our dog Luna received excellent care, plenty of exercise, and thoughtful updates throughout the stay. Luna looked happy each and every day we were away. Thanks Melani for your excellent care!

Schedule

WFH empty nester (ish) Mom. What started out as a summer job for my college age daughter, has turned into a family affair. As she goes to college in the fall, her twin sister and I will take over her clients and look forward to hosting new ones. We try to make sure at least one of us are home at all times, as we do have a dog of our own.

Safety, trust & environment

** We have stairs leading to upper and lower levels. We have one big Great Dane he’s old, calm, and usually sleeps all day. He’s exceptionally good with other dogs of any size. We have a “dogs on furniture” house we love to pile on the couch and watch movies with our big fur baby. Our neighborhood is very walkable and we live within a half mile of two big parks. We have a big fenced back yard with lots of shade and room to run around.

Pets

A typical day

I enjoy my work breaks playing outside with the dogs; walks or throwing the balls. Because I’m home all day, there are as many potty breaks as needed. I make a conscious effort to keep them entertained, fed, exercised and don’t forget the snuggles!
