Melissa went totally above and beyond house sitting our one high energy dog and our other totally neurotic little toddler dog. She even offered and did several visits/walks with them the week before our trip to get them used to her. We are so glad to have found Alan and her. Will definitely use them again.

Melissa and Alan are super boarding hosts and the “kitty room” is wonderful, with plenty of places to snooze, stretch and scratch. Our little Tink, who hasn’t been away from home in the eight years we’ve had her, came home and picked up right where she left off. That’s a sign of a good boarding service, and a nice, quiet sanctuary! Thanks!

Melissa did a great job house sitting with our kitty. She's very professional, personable, and communicates well. Highly recommended!

Information Melissa & Alan G. would like to know about your pet

For boarding and doggy daycare, dogs MUST be cat and dog friendly. If you're unsure, we can always arrange a trial visit and/or meet and greet. You can also consider booking us for house sitting or drop-ins instead. Please make sure your pet profiles are up to date with current info. ● Care Questions ● - How is the potty behavior? (House trained? How many hours?) - What is your feeding schedule and how much? ( It is best to feed your dog at home if possible before daycare) - What medication if any are you currently using for your dog? This includes flea/tick/etc meds. Will they need medication while in my care? What is the medication schedule? - Are there any special needs, health conditions, or dietary restrictions? - Do they get along with other dogs? - Is your dog aggressive towards cats? - Can you provide proof of vaccinations? - In case of emergency : Name / phone # ❗️ Dogs that are excessively destructive/ excessively barking/ excessive soiling in-house/have fleas may be dismissed early or charged a fee to cover damages.

A typical day

We know how ruff it can be away from your fur family- You'll get an update of the day's activities and photo/videos Boarding/daycare includes at least one hour-long walk. Our favorite spots are the beach at King Salmon, McKay Community Forest, Redwood Fields, Samoa Dunes Rec Area, and Hiller Dog Park. We offer constructive playtime and training reinforcement throughout the day to keep highly active dogs engaged and entertained. Don't be surprised if your dog comes home tired and happy! Our dogs love to play fetch, tug of war, and hide and seek with treats. Omen especially loves dog friends who chase in friendly games of tag, and Flicker likes to "stalk" and pounce, and roll around wrestle.
