Pet care experience

East Dallas pet loving family home

I've had pets since I was a kid and my own dog or two for the last 20 plus years. I know all the dogs and dog owners in the neighborhood because I can't help talking to the dogs first.

Great family and environment for my baby I left her in their hands without a worry at all. Very communicative, sweet and loving. They were a pleasure and I will probably use them again in the future!

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.

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.
