Paws on Vacay

Pet care experience

We have 25 years experience caring for our furry babies. Combined, we have had German Shephards, Rotties, Pits, and have recently moved to our latest small dog, Sir Charlie - a miniature schnauzer. He loves having friends over to play. We have a fenced off backyard with plenty of running space and open home to roam. We will treat your pet, as we do ours. We are a loving family with 2 boys. We also have a local Animal Hospital in case of any emergencies. We have experience with elderly dogs, dogs on special diets, those that need alittle TLC, those that suffer from separation anxiety, and those that need medication. Please feel free to browse our reviews or schedule a meet and greet. Thank you

Rocky had such a blast! It was my first time leaving him with someone I didn't know, but before I even got home, she had sent me a video of rocky and her pups playing together and assured me everything was going great! He's a worn out pup tonight and I would recommend Melissa to everyone! Thank you for giving him such a great weekend while I was away!

Everything was perfect! Melissa was so friendly and accommodating. We were very nervous about leaving our pups, but it couldn't have gone better. 5 stars!!

Information Melissa A. would like to know about your pet

If your pet is caged, we can accommodate - otherwise they are left free to roam. If they are not good with children then this will not work. Our children LOVE animals and will love yours!

A typical day

We go on regular walks around the neighborhood, play catch in the fenced back yard, chase my 2 children and miniature schnauzer around the home! We put on sprinklers to keep them cool during the hot summers. We have plenty of dog toys.
