Fun Dog Loving Home + Doggie Door

We love dogs and wish I could have a house full… as a compromise I dog sit and get to love other’s dogs why you vacation and have fun. It’s a win-win. We will care for all of your dogs needs: meals 1-2 times daily, fresh water, walks, belly rubs, cuddles and lots of playtime. Photos will be sent and updates while you’re away so you know your fur baby is happy and give you peace of mind. Our doggie door makes it easy for pets to enjoy the outdoors when desired but are available if nature calls and they need out or walked. I am also happy to give daily pills if needed. It would be great to have a meet and greet prior to your dogs stay to make sure everyone will feel comfortable and ensure a smooth “pet vacation”. We do need to decline stays with dogs that are not potty trained or have frequent accidents. We take pride in providing a clean and safe environment for your dog.

Our pups had a wonderful time with Melissa and her family! They had so much space to run around, had fun sleepovers with the boys, and had a blast with their family dog. We received regular updates and they were so easy to book and communicate with. We will absolutely reach out to Melissa again for future pet sitting needs.

Melissa and her husband are wonderful people and they took such nice care of our dog. They kept updating us by sending us pictures and kept us in the loop. We were far from our dog but we’re so happy to see he was well taken care of and we felt comfortable that he was with a good family while away from home. We are so grateful to them for all the love and care they provided and would definitely use them again and also highly recommend them. Thank you 😊

Pets

A typical day

Just like people all dogs are different. Most dogs enjoy taking walks and checking out the neighborhood and nearby parks. We also play fetch, can take them swimming if the owners are comfortable in the summer months, and of course lots of playing in the house and backyard. All of that usually wears them out so they will have plenty of time for naps and cuddles.

Let me know more about your fur baby and any special needs. I want everyone to have a happy, fun stay so being prepared is key. Please make sure to bring any personal items they may need during their stay: beds, leash, collar, food, treats, medicine, etc. We do not accept dogs that are not potty trained. If they have a “nervous bladder” or can’t wait for one of the frequent potty breaks our home won’t be the best fit. We take pride in providing a clean and beautiful home for your pet to visit. My husband works from home so if your dog loves to bark ALL day we would prefer not to watch.
