HUGE Fenced Yard to PLAY!
Pet care experience
Hi! Welcome to the Old Village. Your pet will be welcomed with open arms into our home, located in the heart of the Old Village - just blocks away from the best dog play area at Alhambra Hall. We have a large, fenced backyard that will give your dog space to roam, rest and fetch. We love to play with pups and go for several walks a day. You are going to love all of the photos we send (isn't portrait mode amazing?) Our goal is to have repeat customers who can feel confident and content vacationing, while your animals are in our care. The dogs we have sat for before feel like family. We have been an approved foster care home for the Grateful Goldens Rescue. We are happy to answer any questions. Feel free to connect with us. Our 1 year old pup, Darcy, honestly believes that she is the Rover sitter. She will run younger dogs around the yard playing chase until exhaustion. We also love to take walks and give treats for good behavior. Overnight dogs are picked up by 11am (similar to a hotel), otherwise they roll over into daycare rates. We have a huge, fenced yard for pups to play and chase squirrels. We also have a crate available if needed. Dogs are allowed on beds and furniture.
Reviews
Melissa was amazing. Our dog was definitely not the easiest on her and she took such great care of him and didn’t make us feel like it was a burden to her at all. We highly recommend Melissa!
Hondo is so lucky to have found Melissa!! She and her family took excellent care of Hondo. I highly recommend Melissa and will certainly use her for future engagements.
Oia absolutely adores going to Melissa’s home and playing with their pup, Darcy, or any other doggies they’re sitting. Melissa is such a strong and easy communicator. She keeps us updated frequently with pictures and how our dog does sleeping/eating. It’s so clear how loving she is of each dog as she takes them on walks and plays with them, washes their feet or even has gone as far as bathing Oia when she got into some mud😂, checks in on how they’re eating and feeds them privately if needed, and is overall just very intentional as she customizes her care for each pet. Thanks for another awesome stay, Melissa!
Melissa and her family were wonderful! Our pups seem very content after their overnight stay at her home. All care instructions were followed, including medication administration. Melissa was very responsive and sent multiple picture updates through their stay. Highly recommend!

Information Melissa E. would like to know about your pet
We love to meet dogs prior to their first stay to make sure your pooch, our 6 year old daughter and 1 year old pup all get along.
A typical day
I try to have equal time playing and sunning outside with napping and tummy rubs indoors. My husband and I both work from home, so the dogs have us here at all times.
