Just like home doggy vacation spot!

Pet care experience

We love dogs! We offer a one on one, just like home experience for your four legged friend. We are a family with three kids (15, 13, and 12). We love the doggy cuddles, your dog gets lots of love and you can travel without worry. We have a park and ravine nearby for walks. We also have a big yard for lots of play and exercise. We have a very relaxed (and fat) cat and another kitty that has not been bothered by our visitors and most seem to ignore her too. We recently added our own puppy to the mix. She has her shots, is a golden retriever crossed with cavalier King Charles spaniel. She is not fixed so will have to watch for unfixed boys ;-). We look forward to hearing from you to set up a meet and greet!

Melissa and her family were so wonderful in caring for our dog Piper while we were away. I had zero concerns while we were gone and knew she was getting plenty of activity and love!! Piper made a new friend in their puppy Sage and I think she keeps wondering when she gets to go back! We appreciated the updates and photos while we were away very much ?

Information Melissa D. would like to know about your pet

Please tell us about your dog. Have they been around a cat? Other dogs? Are they mellow or high energy or somewhere in between? Where do they like to sleep? What are the daily routines at your house? Are they uptodate with vaccines?

A typical day

We usually take the dogs on walks in the ravine near our house. There are paved and unpaved walking trails. I like to run so if you dog likes runs it means more exercise for both of us!
