Melissa is really warm and welcoming - we left our 11 month old puppy for 5 days. Although we were nervous to leave him, he was well taken care of and we will use Melissa in the future!

Melissa was great with my 2 girls and relieved much stress from me. I only gave her 2 days notice as I was having work done in my home and needed to get the cats out for the day. Wonderful to have a service like this! Melissa was very flexible with both my drop off and pick up times.

Melissa was amazing! Not only was she transparent but you can tell she loves her guests like her own. Bowie and Yuki were well taken care of and most definitely enjoyed their stay. Will definitely book again with her if needed, thank you Melissa! ❤️

A typical day

I love to go for a long walk or hike early in the morning and then come home and I have an agility course set up in the backyard during the spring summer and fall so that the dogs and I can play with that. Also, I love to play games with the dogs inside by hiding treats around the house for them to find.
