A Meet and Greet is required prior to all stays to make sure our dogs get along and to discuss you and your pets needs and behaviors. For the safety of both pets, If there is any aggression shown, the stay will not be approved. All pets must have up-to-date vaccinations/Bordatella and be FLEA AND TICK FREE. No Pitbull or Pit mix accepted. For the safety of your pet and our Kona, I only take one pet at a time. Our Kona would love to welcome your dog into her big, fenced backyard for play and fun.

Information Melinda R. would like to know about your pet

I need to know if your dog has any special needs while in my care. Does it like to dig or jump? Does it have it's favorite toy? Is it aggressive with other dogs at feeding time? Does your dog have separation anxiety?

A typical day

I will provide your dog with lots of playtime. All outdoor time is monitored and Our Kona loves to zoom around the backyard and will share her toys. I will be sure and give your pet individual play and pets too. We live in a great, quiet neighborhood that is great for walks.

Pet care experience

I will care for your pet as if they were my own, giving them love, exercise, pets and belly rubs. I have had dogs from the puppy stage through the senior stage and understand the care each needs.

Melinda was amazing! Great communication and sent so many pics of our pup playing and having fun. We were on vacation here and we’d absolutely use her again.

Melinda always does a wonderful job. Duke never leaves my side except when he sees her in front of her house. He runs right to her- kinda hurts my feelings! Dr Dan
