Availability

I do pet care full time so I'm available all day to take care of your pet. I do have pet drop of and pick up times for daycare so that I am available and not taken away from the other dogs in my care. Drop off is 7-8 am, pick up 6-7pm. I am fairly flexable if you need to pick up or drop off outside these times, I just ask that you please inform me at booking. I also provide a Bark-and-Ride service for boarding on a case by case bases. Reach out if this service interests you to see if im available to accommodate you.

Information Melanie M. would like to know about your pet

I require a form to be filled out before I can acccept your dog for day care and boarding. It has basic questions on their temperment, history, health and needs. I do this so I can get a detailed knowledge of you pet so I can provide the best care possible.

A typical day

I have frequent outdoor play and in cases of poor weather I have a large heated, renovated and empty garage for play time. I have agility equipment and a plethora of toys for play. Each dog will also get one on one time and cuddles during quite time.

Pet care experience

Hi my name is Melanie and I have 2 adopted dogs of my own, Bear 10 years old and Navi 3. They are well trained and mannered Australian shepperds and Aussie Bernese mix. They are my world and the reason I wanted to get into pet care full time. After rescuing Navi last year at 2 years old and starting from scratch on her training and recovery. I realized how much in love I was with having a hand in her growth, so I made it my goal to do pet care full time. I just started on Rover and hope to gain more experience through Rover, so in the future help other dogs like my Navi. I have my Canine First Aid certificate and a Canine Behavior/Temperment assesment certification to be able to provide the best care. I do have experience training and managing, high energy, work breeds, with the land and space to accommodate their needs. I live on a large lot surronded only by farm fields and a fair distance from the road. It's a quite area with no neighbors so your dog can be a dog. I have 1 med fenced area and 1 x-large fenced area for the dogs to have freedom outside and allows for seperated playtime if they don't do well with other dogs, we also can facilitate seperated space for your dog away from my own pets if you have concerns. I also have a 40ftx40ft heated and renovated empty garage space for play time and running during bad weather. I also have experience with the birth and care of puppies as well as the recources and seperate space for boarding and daycare of young puppies. I look forward to meeting you and your pet and providing them a home away from home! :)
