Melanie took great care of our dog. She treats Rex like he’s a member of the family.

Melanie always takes great care of my dog and uses her skills as a previous trainer to make him an even better dog to come home to.

Melanie is terrific! I am so glad I left my baby with someone who goes above and beyond to make your animal feel safe and secure. I can’t recommend her enough!

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.
