Your dogs home away from home!

Pet care experience

I've been caring for and training dogs since I was a child. I've recently gotten into grooming dogs. Our family's love of pets has made caring for and bonding with our visitor dogs an ideal solution for us and our dog families. It is almost like being a dog grandparent! We are an at home family and being able to walk, train, feed, and play with your pup will provide just what we need to accomplish at home tasks on schedule. Get the dishes done, and we can take the pups for a walk. After math we can go in the back yard and throw the ball with Rover. We average two walks a day with active dogs and plenty of play and love time in between. We have a fenced yard for your dog to have room to zoomie around. Our neighborhood is dog walking friendly. With multiple dog loving people home all day, we have enough love to care for your fur baby and ours. We would love to add grooming to your fur baby's stay if that is a need. Please ask for specific rates depending on your dog's needs

Melisa and her family were amazing to my sweet Sasha. She was very accommodating for last minute daycare sessions since my usual dog sitter was sick. I highly recommend her and will be returning to her when needed! :)

We really loved the photo updates. Cannoli had a blast! We will definitely be using Melissa's services again as a dog sitter.

Melissa and her family are awesome! My dog behaved better with them than she does with me. Melissa did a great job of getting my young, recently rescued dog socialized with other dogs. This will be a great help to me. Thanks, Melissa and the H family.

Safety, trust & environment

All dogs become part of our family. We take daily walks and play in our fenced in yard. We have several areas of our home where dogs can take a break from playing or get some alone time when the need arises. Although I have years of experience caring for dogs, I am working to increase my skills with CPR/First aid certification as well as injectable medication management.

A typical day

We have an excellent dog walking neighborhood. Our main walking path is one mile, but we have multiple short cuts for dogs that need shorter routes. Because we are home most of the day, we are able to rotate spending time inside together and separate as well as playing outside. We have plenty of toys and people for playtime and snuggles.
