Pet care experience

Compassionate dog lover

My love and compassion for all animals makes this a special place. I have two fur babies of my own. All dogs are showered with lots of love and attention, an unlimited supply of belly rubs. Supervised indoor and outdoor play. Your fur baby will feel right at home in a nice relaxed environment. I am experienced with puppies, adult and senior dogs. Maui and Cupcake look forward to making new playtime fur friends.

Melissa and John take such good care of our girl, Magnolia. We receive daily pictures and updates. And Melissa is quick to respond. We feel extremely comfortable leaving our dog with them.

Melissa, her husband, and their pups were wonderful hosts for my playful, sweet pup. You can tell both of them love dogs and really enjoy having them over. Their setup is great, giving the pups a designated space in a large playpen and pretty much unlimited access to the yard. There were about 5 other dogs there, one of which was also a puppy and made sure my pup got lots of playtime and exercise, and socialization, which was my main goal. The space is also very clean and organized. On top of everything else the communication was great and I got some great pictures and updates. I'm a very grateful dog mom. Highly recommended.🫶🏻

Our baby girl always gets so excited to go see Melissa and her pups. Melissa always takes such great care of Luna & her house has become Luna’s second home.

Chloe had a great time at Melissa’s place. I was glad Melissa boards small dogs and Chloe played with the dogs her size.
