Dog Park Days and Bedtime Snuggles!

Pet care experience

I’ve lived with dogs my whole life and love all kinds of animals! I currently own a boxer mix found on the side of the road as a pup and nursed through Parvo, and am excited to meet as many new dog friends as possible. I’ve got a whole extra bedroom in my home for your pup to make themselves comfy in, as well as a small fenced in yard. I work right across the street from my house and can take them on walks during lunch, and also love to make special freezy treats for pups during the summer. Whether it’s boarding for a weekend trip, a weeknight slumber party, or just a mid-day walkabout, I’m excited to help make your pup happy however I can!

Melissa was great! Our puppy loved the trips to the dog park and she sent lots of photos. We will book with her again for sure!

Melissa was amazing! She sent me pics of my pup throughout her stay and you can tell Melissa went above and beyond to make my dog feel at home. I will be using her again in the future!!

Information Melissa D. would like to know about your pet

I don’t discriminate against any breed of dog, would just prefer he or she not be too territorial or aggressive towards other animals. I’ve got 2 cats and a dog of my own, so if they’re spending the night I’d like to make sure we all get along!

A typical day

Most days we start our mornings and end our evenings running around at the dog park for at least an hour. We love to walk around River Oaks or Memorial Park, on weekends we’ll take special field trips to walk around Buffalo Bayou or visit the Danny Jackson Bark Park. Your pup can enjoy sunbathing in my backyard or hanging out on the couch watching Netflix.
