🌴 WHO WILL HAVE A BETTER VACATION YOU OR YOUR PUP? 🚤 📸 Here at DOODS ON DOCKS they will have a great staycation on our beautiful lake property. Enjoy your vacation knowing your dog will be as happy as you are over the holidays or your time away. With my services you get what you pay for. Your dog is a family member. They are not left outside, or in a kennel. They're a part of our home. They sleep with us and do everything we do. I have 30 years experience working with dogs through volunteering and fostering thru the Humane Society and Rescues. I'm very dog savey and most dogs realize I am the pack leader and rely on me for that. I have clients that have senior dogs that require meds, and personal care. This is not a problem. What sets me apart from most pet sitters is that I go above and beyond for the pups. Someone is home 90% of the time. I have had clients that have been with me for many years. At my house you get what you pay for and more. It looks easy and fun on my part however, there’s alot that goes into it besides all the scooping….. Starting with reservations. I always have a free meet and greet. I consider all the dogs I will be having at that time to see if all my guests will enjoy their experience, and how I need to accommodate them. As they arrive, and while they’re here I still study each personality to see who can play together and who would rather just “stay out of it”. Since the dogs live in the house like my own pets, I want to make sure everyone is happy. No dog is crated or kenneled unless that is what the dog requires. There’s outside play time at least twice a day. Which might involve chasing a ball, squirrel, duck, or swimming in the lake, or lounging in the sun. If you need a staycation for your pet where they will come home exhausted and happy, let me know. 1. I can pick up and deliver your pup if needed for an extra fee. 2. I live on the lake. 3. I can also bath and do light grooming if needed including nails. 4. 📸 But the most important thing is that pictures and communication cell 📱 📞 with the pups parents are sent many times a day so that you know your dog is safe, and basically having a blast here at my house. We live on the lake so there's lots of room to run and play, however we do have a dog area with a doggie door so they can come and go. All dogs live inside with us and sleep in our room if they want to.

Notes et avis
Melinda is such a caring individual and has a wonderful family. Her house is absolutely like a second home for Blue. We are so grateful to have the opportunity of boarding Blue with her, on occasions when we’re away.
The word that comes to mind while boarding our pup with Melinda is “Safe”. That is what we feel. And add the Love, affection to it. Complete package. We love Melinda and her family.
This was the absolute BEST doggy day care experience. Our boy Cooper came home happy and tired. Melinda does a wonderful job learning each dogs behaviors and personalities. The next time we need day care or overnight care, Doods on Dock will be the one we will call. She is very accommodating time and date wise. Again, we could not have asked for a better place to leave Cooper.
Always fabulous! Both dogs have a great time and come home happy and tired from playing. Great communication and response time!!
As usual, outstanding experience boarding our little baby girl with Melinda. She send regular updates and we feel so safe with our pup being with Melinda.
Melinda was so warm and welcoming. She sent daily pictures and updates. My dogs came home happy, healthy, and tired from having so much fun!

Dates de la garde
My family works from home so someone is here most of the time. My personal dogs are use to having dogs visit us at home and it's never an issue. All dogs are treated like our own and loved. Their needs are always accommodated so that their parents can feel assured that they are well taken care of without any worries while they are gone.

Caractéristiques du logement
Sécurité, confiance et environnement
I have a doggie area that is large that the dogs can use with a doggie door. This area also has our hot tub so they often play outside or "talk" to us while we use the hot tub. I have a large back yard that the dogs can enjoy while we are there to supervise them. Dogs are not left unattended in the back yard. I live on a quiet one way street with neighbors only to the left and right of me. We all know each others dogs and can identify them.

Une journée type
We live on the lake so your dog is welcome to swim if they like. We have lots of trees on our street and walks are daily. We play ball (or soccer as our little dog loves to play). Lot's of attention and pictures and videos. At 8 pm we actually slow down and read or watch TV. Then it's time for bed. All dogs sleep in our large bedroom together on their own bed, or wherever they like.
