Safety, trust & environment

Our backyard is large and fenced. There is a dog run area for going potty. Our inside is also large, and we are equipped with crates for those who prefer to crate their dogs and plenty of dog beds for those who prefer not to crate. We can also do drop in visits 3 times a day (unless otherwise requested) and spend plenty of time playing with and caring for your pets. Some dogs and other pets need overnight care and aren't comfortable in other homes. In this case, we can offer stay-over services. We love hanging out outside while the kids and dogs play. Dogs get plenty of love and attention from us as we are often home!

Information Melanie & Emerson W. would like to know about your pet

I have cared for dogs with special dietary needs and dogs with allergies in the past. Please let me know if your dog has special needs, preferences, or concerns so I can know how to best care for them.

A typical day

We love playing fetch, tug of war, or just relaxing! We have a nice neighborhood for plenty of walks and a big dog park right down the street for even more activities!

Pet care experience

We have experience caring for a wide variety of animals, having owned and/or cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, turtles, hamsters, rats, parakeets, chickens and more! We also have experience taking care of fish, and reptiles. We have completed several training courses of various methods with several of our dogs over the years. Since we are a homeschool family, most of our time is spent at home. Our children are also accustomed to a variety of animals, and are anxious to love on your pets! Our schedule is flexible and open enough to accommodate your pet care needs! *Intact males and females in heat are welcome in our home for a small additional fee* *Because we are a family with young children, we do not currently accept some bull breeds*

Melanie and Emerson opened their family's door and invited Daisy in with open arms, which made me feel so comfortable living my girl with them. They helped give Daisy a little Daily pill, had lots of room for her to walk around and explore, play with other pups and even the children. So it was win-win!
