Pet care experience

3 acres of fenced yard & lot of ❤️

If you wanna see unconditional love... you look in the eyes of an animal! It’s no wonder you often hear dogs are man’s best friend. We believe in treating your pet(s) like our own. We will update you often with pictures and videos. Communication is highest important when being trusted with a loved one. We have 3 fenced in acres out in the country for your fur baby to enjoy! We also have 2 fur babies of our own that are here 24/7 along with me as I work from home. Mazie is our older black lab and Bella is our boxer mix. Great dogs that are waiting for their playmates. We are happy to answer any questions and will try our best to accommodate your wishes too ensure your peace of mind. Unfortunately we are UNABLE to accept request for golden retrievers, pit bulls(to include mixes) German Shepard’s or rottweilers. We love them all but unfortunately they are not good fits in our home. We also cannot accept request for any pup with seperation anxiety. PLEASE please with all due respect, be mindful before sending a request if your pup suffers from anxiety. We do not do meet and greets and completely understand if you rather find another sitter that does.

Fozzie had a great time getting to run and play with other dogs while I was away. It was so nice to get videos from Melissa every day. I would definitely recommend her any time!

Lucy seemed to be happy when she came home. When Melissa would send videos and pictures she seemed very content.

Melissa is the perfect person for our Angie. She loves it there and is treated like one of the family. We were about to enjoy 6 days away knowing she is loved and cared for.

Melissa was in a word, Fantastic!! Our two dogs immediately could sense she was kind and caring. The frequent updates provided a nice picture of the wonderful time our pets were having. I would highly recommend her and will definitely book her for any future needs.

Does your dog like to play fetch, run freely, play with other dogs? We’d love to enjoy time with them. While we love them all, unfortunately we CANNOT ACCEPT request for any pup that suffers from seperation anxiety, we CANNOT accept request for golden retrievers, pit bulls (including mixes), German Shepard’s or Rottweilers as they are not a good fit for our home. Thank you for understanding!
