Theo’s favorite place when we are away is with Melissa! He feels right at home with her and I always know he is well taken care of.

Thank you for providing such a loving home for Champ to stay in! Melissa kept us up to date with daily pictures and was super easy to coordinate pickup/dropoff

Melissa is always amazing with Theo. He would stay forever if he could! She gives him lots of play time and plenty of love and attention. I always know he’s safe with her!

Let me know if your dog has any special needs, behavioral issues or aggression. Because we have kids and other pets, we prefer not to deal with any aggressive dogs.
