Pet care experience

Loving home with large, fenced yard

Our family cares for your pup(s) like they are our own. We absolutely love dogs and include them as part of our family while they stay with us. We have experience with all ages of dogs, many different breeds of dogs, and a variety of personalities. We adapt to the dog's needs and owner's preferences as much as reasonably possible.

Ginger loves it here and we love the peace of mind. She is treated like family. We have brought her to Melanie’s home many times. It’s Ginger’s home away from home.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a large, fenced yard with grass, rock, and a pool. There's plenty of space to play, run, or just explore. Indoors we have tile downstairs with some rugs for relaxing. We do allow dogs on the couches, which some prefer. We do prefer to crate your dog(s) at bedtime. You can provide your own with a familair blanket or bed, or we do have one to share.

A typical day

Your dog(s) becomes part of our family during their stay with us. Our large yard allows us to play fetch, chase, or just allow your dog to explore. We also have walking paths in the neighborhood if your dog(s) enjoy a walk.
