A home away from home

Pet care experience

I've had a lot of experience with taking care of dogs, I helped take care of my first litter at 6 years old and went on to assist with many more, familiar with puppy training and many different breeds, my husband also has experience from working at boarding/ grooming places for dogs.

Melanie & James were wonderful. They took very good care of my dog Sophie. They send me pictures while I was away on my trip, so I knew she was in good hands. I highly recommend them!

I love seeing my dog prance away without an issue when I drop him off. They’re also so accommodating!

Information Melanie & James C. would like to know about your pet

1.) For medications and/or milk I would like a clear list of times and amounts to make sure your dog gets the care they need 2.) Extra food in case something happens, and they need to stay an extra day or two 3.) Likes and dislikes! Does your dog have any preferences or something that makes them uneasy?

A typical day

Some fun activities I like to do with dogs are go on walks, play with water, fetch, or even just sit with them if your dog is more relaxed and doesn't want to be bothered. I am more than happy to send you as many pictures as you would like of your dogs adventures!
