Safe & fun home for your dog!
Pet care experience
Hello there fellow dog lover! Thanks for checking out my profile – I know finding care for our beloved pups can be very stressful! My goal is to help make that a little easier by providing a safe, clean and fun home for your dog to spend the day while you are at work, or out of town. *I focus on providing regular Doggy Daycare. Boarding will be available for regular daycare dogs. Boarding is also available to "repeat" dogs that have stayed with us before that are very dog friendly. We are open to referrals from our regulars as well. At this time, we are not taking on any new dogs for one time boarding outside of these parameters.* I am a lifelong “horse girl” so most of my animal care experience has been with horses and this has very much made me who I am today. My childhood pony, Titan, is happily retired at a farm nearby. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Animal and Food Science and have always had my own animals – large and small! Since getting my first dog in 2010, being a dog mom has been a top priority and I have loved helping friends and family with their dogs over the years as well.
Reviews
Melissa has excellent communication and is very prompt with arrival times. She does a great job and highly recommend!
Fantastic doggie care provider! She gave pics throughout the day so that we knew our pup was having a fun day! Our dog loves playing and had a great time! Appreciated! ❤️🐶
Our dog seemed to enjoy her stay with Melissa. She loves playing with other dogs, and was plenty tired after she got home. Melissa was so easy to work with and communicated with us everyday. We will definitely be calling Melissa again. Highly recommend!
Melissa was great with our dog and excellent with communication. Highly recommended!

Home
Information Melissa G. would like to know about your pet
When we meet, I will ask about your dog's experience with other dogs, have they boarded or attended daycare elsewhere and how did that go. What is a typical day like for them, exercise requirements & eating schedule. How are they home alone and for how long are they use to be home alone. Where do they like to sleep. Any resource guarding concerns. If a puppy, how are they doing with potty training (I am happy to help with potty training, I love puppies). UTD on vaccines and flea/heart worm medication. Any other info that you as an owner want me to know. ALL DOGS must be fixed. The safety of all dogs and people is extremely important to me, any dogs boarding or coming to our home for daycare must be dog friendly. A ~30 minute Meet & Greet at our home will be required before any bookings will be accepted.
A typical day
We have a large grassy yard for playing fetch, wrestling or just enjoying a good sniff and roll in the sun. Our neighborhood is excellent for long walks! Daycare - We stay home, we rotate between playing in the yard and relaxing (or playing more) inside. Lunch can be fed. Walks not provide during daycare. Hours: M-F, if more than 12 hours additional fee applies. Weekends may be available additional fees apply Boarding - Walks can be provided as needed (weekends). Some days we have enough playmates that walks are not needed because pups are tuckered out by sundown. If dogs need to be left home alone for a short time, I will provide them with a safe place separate from other dogs with water and a soft place to nap. Crating is not required but I am happy to utilize a crate if that is what your dog is use to.
