Pet care experience

Your pet's home away from home!

Being born and raised on a farm I have always loved having dogs. Dogs have always been part of our family. I love giving dog owners a piece of mind while they are away that their dog is well taken care of. I am a fully Insured and licensed kennel. I am a certified groomer and trained in pet first aid and CPR. I can provide full grooming services to your dog during it's stay with me. My home has a variety of kennel/housing options for your dog during its stay. Including two out door kennels that are inside a large outdoor run area. I also provide occasional walks throughout the day, I love to be outdoors.

Melissa was excellent - super responsive and helpful when I found myself needing last minute care for my pup! She has a great location with plenty of outside space for the dogs to play. Her individual kennel facilities are spacious and clean. She also offers grooming - I have a dog who doesn’t like his nails trimmed and she was able to do it and they look great. I would highly recommend her services.

Melissa and family took great care of Gigi who has physical challenges. They gave her lots of love and met her special needs. Melissa has a great facility...clean, large fenced in area for running, large kennels, brings dogs into her home for extra love. So grateful for her and her daughters willingness to love and care for Gigi during Christmas. Thanks so much!! You are wonderful!

Melissa was great! Good communication, met us immediately when we arrived and had the dogs ready for us at pick up. Her outdoor fenced area was fantastic for our dogs. Would absolutely leave our dogs with her again.

Schedule

I have a very flexible stay at home schedule so I will be home with your dog for the majority of its stay. Taking care or your dog is my priority so they will get lots of attention and love from the whole family. I have two dogs of my own that love to interact and play with your dog during their stay.

Safety, trust & environment

The large fenced in area with lots of shade provides a safe place for your pups to play. When the weather is not the best I have a large open kitchen where the dogs hang out and play. Consider spoiling your pet with and additional groom and or nail trim while they are here as well. My ultimate goal is to keep your dog comfortable and their schedule as close to theirs at home.

A typical day

I have a large outdoor run area. This is where to dogs get lots of play time with other dogs. In the summer we have fun in a small kids pool. I do occasional walks with them around the woods on my property.
