Information Melissa & Clay A. would like to know about your pet

We’d love to learn about your dog! Let us know how they do with other dogs, how they are on a leash, and their personality. Any special needs or important details are always helpful, the more you share, the better!

A typical day

We have great trails nearby and love going on regular walks around the neighborhood. Inside, there are lots of toys to keep pups entertained and cozy dog beds all around for relaxing.

Pet care experience

We have years of experience fostering dogs in our home, from young puppies to full-grown dogs, each with unique backgrounds and needs. We also cared for a beloved family dog who lived to 17, giving us extensive hands-on experience with dogs at every stage of life. These experiences have helped us truly understand the ins and outs of providing attentive, compassionate care.

Teddy always feels like one of the pack with Melissa and Clay! We know he’s in great hands so we can relax. They have also been super flexible with timing when we need it!

Clay and Melissa went above and beyond with Beau and Cooper. They sent photos and updates every day, and when it was time to go home, they both resisted. Cooper would not get in the car.and stared out the window as we pulled away. We are grateful for Melissa and Clay’s loving care.

Teddy had the best time with Melissa and Clay! He felt like one of the pack with their two dogs - going on adventures together! They sent so many pictures that I knew he was having a fabulous time. We even debated if he missed us because he was having such a blast!! We will absolutely be sending him back.

Melissa and Clay were awesome dog sitters! They were able to accommodate my dog with short notice and sent me daily picture updates.
