Melissa was fabulous! My Vizslas came back content (and sleepy) which is a great sign of a good stay and very reassuring to know my pups are in good hands. Melissa updated often with photos and even provided a super sweet photo of them - above and beyond! Would highly recommend for any stay

Melissa was amazing and took care of our Toby when our daughter got married. Her dog Obi and Toby became great friends during their walks and playtime. Melissa has a nice big fenced yard and sent us photos and videos throughout the day. Highly recommend as she definitely took great care of our fur baby!

Emmy has stayed for daycare with Melissa several times now and she always has a blast with Obi. This trip had to be rescheduled several times and every time Melissa was flexible and responsive. Always sends great photos throughout the day. Highly recommend!

My house is large and sits on a fully fenced, half-acre yard. My home is conveniently located right off the main road when you first get into town, which makes pick ups and drop offs a breeze. Dogs get full range of the house or can have their own cozy, private room if anxious. Dogs are allowed on furniture unless owners have specific rules. I will accommodate your requests. My yard has plenty of toys and so much space to run around or play fetch in. I also enjoy going on daily, long walks, so your pup will receive exercise.
