Pet care experience
The Elite Doggie House.
Welcome to The Elite Doggie House!!! Where your Doggie is treated like Royalty. If you’re seeking a luxury, personalized, and private Doggie retreat, read on to discover more! Your Doggie will receive one-on-one attention like no other place in town! I limit my care to NO more than 2 unrelated Doggies at one time. I can limit to just me and your Doggie alone, if that’s what your Doggie needs. With car rides, trips to the Doggie park and a walk through the Doggie friendly neighborhood throughout the day, your Doggie will for sure go home tired!!! Your Doggie will receive fresh water, treats, kibble, as no Doggie goes thirsty or hungry here. Constant attention, playing fetch, and belly rubs!! This is your Doggie’s day and it’s all about them! I have big comfy chair, couch, or my bed for your Doggie to sleep on. You are welcomed to bring your Doggie’s bed if they need the scent of home during their stay. If your Doggie enjoys a brushing or bath, I can do that too. Just bring the brush and shampoo!! I offer a small, cozy 900 sq ft, home, with a fenced in backyard, that backs onto a field for convenient walks. A safe space to play, relax and socialize. Your Doggie’s experience will be like no other, and one you’ve never seen, as I constantly send pics and videos throughout their stay for your own peace of mind. Check out the testimonials!! I guarantee you’ll never book anywhere else again.

She cared for Nia with the same love and attention one would give to their own dog. Throughout her time with Nia, Melanie consistently kept us updated on her activities, which gave us peace of mind and confidence in the quality of care being provided. Melanie is exceptionally kind, has a natural love for dogs, and communicates with ease and clarity. Her professionalism, reliability, and genuine compassion make her an outstanding caregiver. I highly recommend Melanie to anyone seeking someone trustworthy and dedicated to the well-being of their pets.

Schedule
Pet care is a natural and meaningful part of my daily and weekly routine. I structure my schedule around the needs of the pets in my care, making sure they receive consistent attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, playtime, or evening wind-down routines, I prioritize each doggie’s comfort and well-being as if they were my own. Because I intentionally keep my schedule balanced, I’m able to provide focused, one-on-one care rather than rushing between multiple commitments. This allows me to be fully present, attentive to their cues, and responsive to any special needs, ensuring every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while in my care.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I’m committed to working closely with you to understand your dog’s unique needs, preferences, and any special concerns—offering a level of personalized care you won’t find just anywhere. My approach is truly one-on-one, meaning your dog receives my full attention, patience, and dedication, as if they were my own.
A typical day
I offer plenty of fun and enriching activities to keep your doggie happy and engaged. We can enjoy playtime in my backyard, neighborhood walks, and even visits to a nearby off-leash dog park for extra social time and exercise. My home backs onto an open field, so outdoor adventures are just steps away—perfect for burning off that built-up energy. Fetch sessions are always a favorite, too! Fresh water is available all day, along with snacks and kibble, because no doggie goes hungry or thirsty here. When it’s time to relax, your pup can curl up on a comfy couch or the big leather chair for a well-deserved rest. We can also take a special outing—about an hour and a half drive—to Hillside Beach, where my husband and our dogs often spend time. There, your doggie can explore nature, stroll by the lake, and take in all the sights and scents of the outdoors for a truly enriching experience!
