Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog-loving family!
My husband and I have cared for and trained our own dogs since we were kids, sometimes as many as 4 dogs at once. Our beloved dogs Blue & Holly (both weimaraners) died two and one year ago and we find ourselves missing them both so much. We would love to host or walk your dog and give them the same love and attention we gave our Blue & Holly. We currently have 10 acres of land with numerous dog-friendly trails for lots of walking, sniffing, and exercise!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Our second time booking with Melissa and it was great again! Feels so nice to pick up your pup and he doesn’t even notice you pulling in the driveway because he is so comfortable playing with the family. Great communication and loved to see the pics of him outside. Will definitely book again!!

My first time making any kind of booking with Rover, Melissa, Axel and family were an amazing family and treated Maverick with so much attention, love and care. Their home is very pet friendly with a nice big yard and backyard area. Melissa is very experienced with pets, will be making a future reservation again with them soon. Thank you again so much for taking care of Maverick!

Great communication and updates throughout the week! My dogs came home beyond happy and totally pooped!


Melissa & Axel took amazing care of our golden retriever over a two night weekend stay. They sent us plenty of updates and we could tell that our dog loved the stay with their family.

Fantastic family of dog carers. My Lacey loves it at their house.

Melissa and her family took very good care of my pups when I needed last minute help. I was very grateful for their kindness and quick communication throughout the day. Will definitely use again when needed. Thank you!!

Schedule
Axel works from home and our family is also home most of the day and our boys are homeschooled so we have flexible schedules during school hours, most times after 8am. We may be able to be more flexible, so please let us know!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
For visits/walking: We are able to fit in whatever your pup needs. From walks (including small amount of training, if desired) to playing in your house or yard, to simple affection. Depending on the time or scenario, we may be able to go running with your pooch a few times a week. We love dogs! We have a large backyard and also go on at least two long dog walks per day. Dogs can snuggle in the house or play in the backyard throughout the day. We have 5 kids who have experience with large dogs and are eager to meet your pup. Please, only dogs that are good with children and other dogs.
A typical day
A dog who stays with us will spend plenty of time outside playing in our backyard, long walks around our property a couple times a day, and plenty of attention in our home with our family.
