Melissa and David always take excellent care of my puppy. Loved all the photos and videos they would send while I was away for a week. Chili Dog needs a lot of stimulation and loves to chase Milo around so I always feel like she's in great hands with them! Appreciate that they have a fenced in yard she can run in and they took her on nice walks at Bryan Park! 5/5 stars highly recommend

They took great care of our Sally while we were gone over Thanksgiving. They even sent us daily photo and video updates. She had such a great time playing with their dog.

Henry was so happy with Melissa and David! Great communication, and shared so many pictures and videos throughout my trip. I was nervous to leave my super senior, but he had a blast. Would 100% recommend.

Doggy Day Care • Oct 12, 2025

We did about 8 hours of daycare and my puppy Chili Dog had the most fun with David and their dog Milo! David sent me lots of funny and cute videos of Chili having fun with her new friends throughout the day. Based on today's experience I'm excited to bring her back to play again in the future. I felt comforted by the fact that she was able to roam freely in the fenced in yard and house and got along great with the resident pup and other clients. Thanks a million!!
