Melissa took great care of our two Bernese Mountain Dogs. We received daily photos from her of the furry ones. The dogs had a great time making a new friend, Paisley, in the process. Great peace of mind knowing that our dogs were being well looked after. Would definitely bring our dogs back to Melissa in the future.

I felt very comfortable leaving Chelsea with the family. My dog was happy at pick up and acted normal. I received a picture most days and feedback about the stay at pick up. Melissa and her husband were going above and beyond to make Chelsea comfortable with the first day -transitioning to a new place - of her stay. I was very happy and will book Melissa again!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced in yard, I go outside with the dogs make sure they are ok and don’t jump fence. My dog is very friendly. I also separate at feedings.

Pets

A typical day

Mainly the first start of the day is let the dogs outside. Feed them and let them out again. Play with all the toys we have. We also do take the dogs on walks behind our house on the canal. We also take dogs on car rides and stop sometimes at the canalside for a puppy treat!

Please let me know if there is any special needs for your dog. I have everything supplied here except of if there is a certain dog food you use. I always like to know if the dog is friendly and gets along with other dogs and people. Also if your dog is up to date with flea and tick prevention.
