My husband or myself is always home during the week and weekends. We let our dogs go in and out as much as they want. We love to hang out outside and snuggle inside. We can do any feeding schedule that is needed.

Information Melissa & Christopher P. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know anything you think is important for me to know. I would like to know anything that will help them feel more like home while you are away. How they like to sleep, anxiety, food schedules, favorite treats, favorite toys, etc. I would like to make their time with us as fun and comfortable as possible.

A typical day

We love snuggles, walks in the neighborhood, going to the park and playing in our fenced in backyard. In the summer we love to play in our pup pool and let them play to cool down.

Pet care experience

My husband and I have two boys- 14 and 10. We have two dogs and two cats. Loki is a 7 year old Black Lab male. He has an old man’s personality who loves his people. Thor is a 4 year old male Golden Retriever. He is a goofy, energetic, fun loving boy. We also have two male cats- Zeke and Mamba. They are brothers from the same liter that we rescued when they were babies. They are now 3. They are both very loving and curious boys. My husband and I have both grown up with animals and have had them our whole lives. Our kids have been around them since birth. They love helping us take care of our animals as well as our friends and families animals.

Amazing pet caregivers!!! your pets will be treated as if they are their own. My dog was treated as if part of their family. He was safe and well cared for as if he was one of the kids!!

Melissa and her family were great at taking care of my pups and dropping by my house throughout the day to feed and love on my cats/dragon. They were all so very well taken care of and spoiled the entire time we were gone. Thier communication is wonderful. We always get such great videos and pictures daily. Their boys always keep our pups busy so when we pick them up, they are well loved and sleep great! The anxiety of leaving my animals with them has never been there and that is something that is hard to find these days. I highly recommend Melissa and her family for any kind of services, boarding, daycare or drop in's. They are dependable, flexible communicate well and truly care for your pups and other animals while you are away!

I am generally not a review kinda guy, but when you find something great, you share it. I had looked into boarding my two dogs while away for work. I could never find a place I thought would be good enough and would make them feel at home while I was away. Finding someone to watch your animals is no small task. I heard about Chris and Melissa through a friend from work and figured I would try it out. It was the best decision I could have made. I get constant communication, pictures and updates while I am away. My buddies just adore her and her family. My dogs have pretty bad anxiety being with other people but they both adapted so well with them. I couldn't have asked for anyone better to love them and care for them while I am away.
