Melissa and her family took excellent care of our Goldendoodle and updated us throughout the weekend. It was so nice to know our pup was being taken care of and loved on while we were away. 🤍

Buddy and Jack love to visit Melissa. They get excited as soon as they see we are turning onto her street. It's been really nice that they don't have to be kenneled the whole time. At her house they are treated like family. I would definitely recommend Melissa! Thank you! Cathy

Schedule

We work full time during the week and have a dog door so our pups have full access to the securely fenced back yard with plenty of room to run and play. On weekdays our preferred times for drop off and pick up are 6am, 11:30-12pm during lunch break, or after 3:30pm. We can accommodate drop off outside of these windows for an additional $10 fee.

Safety, trust & environment

Our dogs & visiting dogs are treated like family in our home. We have a large, fenced back yard where they’re free to play. They get to be wherever we are if they’d like, or we have plenty quiet corners to tuck away in if that’s their preference. If your dog is nervous, reactive, or aggressive towards other dogs or small children, destructive to property, uses the bathroom in the house (other than small puppies who are learning), or gets severe anxiety when left alone, unfortunately our home will not be a good fit. For the safety of our son, your dog, and the other dogs in our home we cannot accommodate dogs with the aforementioned traits. We encourage all new clients to allot time for a meet and greet prior to booking their stay. This typically consists of your dog being dropped off for a few hours (while you run some errands?) so that we can verify that your dog will be a good fit and we can ensure the safety of everyone staying in our home.

Our dogs are older but very friendly, so visiting pups will have great playmates. Our son also loves animals and is happy to throw a ball for them :)
