Large fenced yard & love to run!

Pet care experience

We are an active family that loves walking, hiking, running and biking! My rate includes at least two walks a day, trips to the dog parks, local trails, bike riding or running with your pet depending on energy levels :-). Your dog can have it all with my active family! We have a great trail nearby and a large fenced in yard. My whole family loves dogs and would love to entertain your family member while you are away! Your dog can sleep on our bed or even the kids. They will be treated like family and we can even give them a bath before you pick them up. Your dog will want to return here for sure! We love to be outdoors and can help with your energetic or non-energetic dog! If your dog needs to be ran next to a bicycle or next to me, we will provide the exercise! Your dog will beg you to come stay with us again!

Melissa was great! She was very communicative through the app while we were away and sent many pictures. Storm came home a happy pup!

Melissa was so great with our pup during a 5 day stay. She kept us updated with videos and pics which made us feel at ease as this was our first time away from us. He had a great time with her dogs and family. She was very flexible with our schedule and meet & greet! Would absolutely recommend her and hope to use her for future visits!

Melissa was such a God-send. We decided last minute to go visit family for Thanksgiving. I thought there was no way I’d find someone that was still available a day before the holiday who had a fenced-in yard and was willing to take two dogs they’d never met! But Melissa made it super easy & stress free. She was a great communicator all weekend long, sending pictures and updates on how they were doing. I didn’t worry about them at all. I knew they were in great hands! I will definitely have Melissa board our pups again and would recommend her to any dog parents out there!

A typical day

There is a great trail nearby that I walk on daily. I can run with your dog or bike with them if they have extra energy. I have a fenced backyard that we can play fetch as many times as they want. My children love to throw the ball for dogs! I have provided shots, medication, prepared specific diet food for dogs many times. I have raised many puppies and I am sure they will be happy staying here. I will take on the most neediest pet you may have and I assure you they will be in great hands!
