Doggy Studio

Pet care experience

Welcome to your dog's home away from home! We have to amazing rescue hounds, Sammy and Scotty, that I fostered for almost a year and when it was clear that no one wanted to adopt them, I decided to keep them. They have come a long way since the first day they arrived and are now used to the coming and going of multiple dogs on a daily basis:) I used to foster many dogs pre-covid. I also have 2 rescue cats who are about 6 years old and let the dogs know who's in charge. They are very good with any dog that won't chase them and have their own little sanctuary in one of the bedrooms in case it's too much for them We have 2 children who are 16 years old and 14 years who love just about any animal they come in contact with. Everyone pitches in to help make any animal feel comfortable as some will connect with one family member over the other and that's ok!! We have a fenced yard for those quick "need to go" moments as well we like to go on walks. Weather and dog permitting we do daily trips to the dog park for those who need to get a good run in before starting their day We are experienced with senior animals who just want to lay around as well as high energy dogs that need to move for hours. I have my Canine Specialist Certificate and am also a Pets and Essential Oil specialist I am currently in the process of obtaining my certification in Applied Zoopharmacognosy Choose our home and your dog will love it! **ALL MALE DOGS MUST BE NEUTERED**

Melanie is just amazing! So flexible, kind and caring. Our puppy, Fanta had a great time staying at her house for two nights. Definitely our "to-go" person for future!

Melanie was great! We could tell right away that she was used to caring for dogs and provided a great day for them. Unfortunately our pup was quite shy, which we don’t fault Melanie for …our dog can be funny like that (picky about the dogs she likes to play with). Thanks for looking after her!
