I have a large, fenced in yard. The yards surrounding ours are also fenced in. I have plenty of extra crates and supplies, if needed. I have dog seat belts, if your dog likes car rides. I do not require pets to be crate trained, but will offer them a space of their own to decompress and feel safe.

The more details you provide me about your pet, the better care I can offer. I love to know all the special things that make your pet special.

A typical day

The first moments of the day will be spent in the big, fenced in backyard. After morning potty and stretches, our day will depend on what your pet needs. I have plenty of toys, balls, mental stimulation, enrichment and even art projects we can do together!

Loving care when you’re not there!

Pet care experience

Caring for dogs has been my passion for the last 2 years. I have my own dog, but I am also the one family and friends call to care for their pets. I also work part time for a local animal rescue and volunteer with one other rescue. This has provided me experience with all kinds of dogs. I have fostered over 30 puppies in 2025. I love all breeds of dogs and will love them like their our own. I have basic dog first aid and CPR.

Melissa did a great job with the girls. With her experience I felt so comfortable leaving them in her care. She kept us updated with messages and pictures.

Melissa did such an amazing job taking care of my dog Albert! She is very knowledgeable about dogs, and made sure to introduce Albert to the other dogs slowly so he was comfortable and safe. He is a senior and has medications that he needs daily, and Melissa did a wonderful job ensuring he got his medication. She also was incredibly cautious about the heat over the weekend, and making sure he wasn’t outside for too long. I got many updates during Albert’s stay, and Melissa was very flexible when I needed to come pick Albert up a little bit earlier than planned. I would 100% recommend Melissa for any of your dog care needs :)
