Playtime and long walks!

Hi! My name is Melissa and I have owned dogs for over 20 years! My sons are 12 and 14 and they also love dogs. We will care for your pet as if he or she was part of our family too. Warning - your pet will receive lots of belly rubs, petting and hugs!!! I have a German Shorthaired Pointer and a Vizsla and they get along very well with other dogs. Taking care of dogs is our family's passion! I treat each dog with lots of love and care and I go above and beyond to make sure pups have fun. We play fetch in my in backyard, we go for walks around my neighborhood or at the park. I am flexible about pick up and drop off times for booking last minute. I understand plans can change due to flights ✈️ delays or other unforeseen circumstances. Thank you for your time and hope to see you and your puppy soon ❤️🐶👍

Boarding • Jun 14, 2026

Melissa is great. One of my dogs started behaving strangely in their last stay. She was prompt with her communication and resolution for the issue since I was out of state.

Melissa was great with our pup. He loves her. She has two fun-loving and playful dogs that our dog really liked, as well. Melissa has a clean home and spacious backyard. We will definitely come back.

We offer a warm and inviting setting for our clients pets as we treat their dogs as our own for the short time we have them. Whether crate trained or not we welcome dogs of all shapes, sizes and ages. Our two dogs are very friendly and always excited to get into a bit of good trouble with new friends.
