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!

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!
Reviews
Melissa has taken care of my pooch for a second time, and she was great. She sends daily updates and photos and they go out for walks throughout the day. :)
Melissa was a wonderful host for my dog Nova during a recent trip. She was super easy to work with to schedule the meet and greet as well as Nova's drop off and pick up. She has a big backyard, two very friendly dogs that were great companions to keep Nova engaged, and her kids are great with dogs too. Nova did not maintain a typical sleep schedule while she was there and Melissa and Jason were very kind to accommodate a few late night bathroom breaks as well. Thank you for the wonderful kindness for Nova while she was under your care.
Melissa and her family were great. They sent lots of photos and were quick to respond (both before and during the stay). They took our pup for daily walks and made sure she had a great time!
River was well taken care of... lots of walks and Melissa sent so many pictures, I knew he was being well taken care of throughout his stay!
