I'd love to host your dog!

Calling all dogs to the yard! Big beautiful backyard to run & play!….As for me, I grew up with dogs and love all animals. Feeding, walking and playing is familiar and easy for me since childhood. My daughter in high school cannot wait for your dogie to stay with us. Your pet will never be bored at our home. We live close to parks and like walking. We hope your loved dog will stay with us soon and can be a part of our family & family's album while you are away! 🐕‍🦺🐩🦮🐕

Melina was a great sitter. She was very communicative and sent daily photo updates. Our dog enjoyed his time with her family. We'd be happy to have her watch Rooibos again in the future!

Melina has a great setup for boarding. Our chocolate lab was invited into their home and had all of his needs met 24/7. She let know that he was acting a little anxious and asked if she could administer a little Benadryl. Melina sends me daily updates and photos.

We were super happy to get pictures and updates daily while we were out of town for the week. Our dog had a great time and will certainly be back in the future

Melina made my holiday more relaxing by putting me at ease with regular updates of Kane. She was extremely attentive in making sure that he had a good stay. I would definitely book with her again!

Non-smoking household

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in backyard plus a doggy that’ll love to have company, big or small! She’s good with the less social dogs, gives them space if needed or will ramp it up for those that love to play! I do allow for boarding of up to three dogs, there’s different sections in my yard that’ll separate the smaller, more timid dogs from the bigger, high energy dogs. We are all about comfort when it comes to our fur babies we tend too ♥️🐶🐾🦴
