My husband works evenings and I work days so your animals would have plenty of human interaction and wouldn't ever be left alone for long, if at all.

Animal loving humans and dogs!
Pet care experience
I have had pets since I was about 5 years old ranging from mice to large dogs and almost everything in between and I am a true animal lover. My husband and co-caregiver of our crew also grew up with dogs and cats. We have been fortunate enough to have dogs that lived to be as old as 17, but with that came the administration of daily medication. At one point, we had a small pharmacy on our counter for the dogs! We had one special girl who had mobility issues, so we carried her everywhere... she became quite spoiled and loved all of the attention! My husband works evenings and I work days so your animals would have plenty of human interaction and wouldn't ever be left alone for long, if at all. We have a good sized home with a large privacy fenced backyard. We can crate your dog if needed. Our dogs love playing with other dogs and are not aggressive in any way... I would actually describe them as being on the submissive side, but they LOVE playing and running with other dogs. We do have two cats and they are dog savvy so as long as your dog is not aggressive with them, they would get along great. We are true animal lovers and your dogs will be treated as if they are our own; plenty of love, cuddles, and play.
Reviews

I always know my dog Bodhi is in good hands when he stays with Melia & Benjamin! They are very responsive to messages and make sure to send pictures when I’m away, which I appreciate. It’s great to have a trusted sitter when I go out of town.


Great communication and pets always come home happy!

Stella and Basil always enjoy going to stay with Malia and Ben. I am so thankful to know that my fur babies will be taken care of and loved while I’m gone.

Melia and Ben are wonderful pet sitters for my dog Bodhi! They send pictures that make it clear Bodhi is very comfortable with them, and they treat him like they would one of their own pups. They are also great with prompt communication. I definitely recommend them as sitters.
