Why...because your dog will ♡ me

Pet care experience

Before I begin I have had to make some changes and add some requirements before I will accept a booking. All bookings at drop off will be required to have a collar/harness on as well as a leash. This will apply to all past and potential new clients. To all potential new clients if you know your dog is a leash reactive dog that will bite or even snap when having a leash attach to their collar/harness please do not book. If you do book and they attempt to bite or snap when having their leash attached to their collar I will call you and have you come pick up your dog. If I cannot get in touch with you or you cannot pickup your dog they will be kenneld until I get in touch with you or you come to pick them up. I have always maintained small bookings so I could accommodate dogs and owners in ways that other pet sitters were not able to do or wouldn't do. As well as having a place where you didn't have to worry about them being placed in a kennel, cage or even having them boarded. All dogs will be walked on a leash when outside...No exceptions...I am sorry for the inconvenience that this may cause and hope you understand but it's important to me to not just ensure the safety of your pet but the integrity of my family and I as well. With that all being said here's a little more info on what to expect when booking with me. I am a no cage and no kennel with flexible drop off and pick up times. I provide round the clock care with plenty of interaction that includes lots of play,love and attention. I live in a cabin out in wears valley with a with a porch that wraps around the cabin that is covered and gated that has plenty of room to run and play.Your pet will be in the company of our family which includes a toy poodle named Waylon and our three daughters 4 year old Brooklyn, 10 year old Genesis and 14 year old Madalynn.We are very hands on with our furclients that at drop off become our family. We provide a broad range of treats,toys and games and you will never have to wonder how your pet is doing because I will send pictures along with updates. With your permission I also like to post my furclients on my facebook page as well as on rover. If you book on daycare at the end of your pets visit I will message you a daycare report card through rover. If you book a boarding at the end of your pets stay you will receive a boarding report card at pick up. I do gift bags for all bookings that will have treats(typically grain free and non rawhide) along with a new toy. Smaller dogs will get a squeaky plush toy and larger dogs will get a tug of rope toy. All dogs will be provided their own cot with a blanket and a cubbie with their name on it for their belongings. We also provide feeding and water bowls,puppy pads, and dog food(grain free and non grain free) as long as they have no allergies and or medical conditions that require them to be on a certain type of food that I don't carry. I can also provide plain cooked rice with boiled chicken if needed. I offer a variety of snacks typically twice a day that consists of fresh fruits and veggies that are vet/dog approved. If your discouraged by rates please think about what you have read and remember your pet is not being dropped off to a facility but to a home. A home with a family that limits the amount of bookings its willing to accept so we are able to provide the ample amount of love and attention that you desire for your pet when your not with them and that provides a home away from home.

Excellent communication throughout our loved ones stay. We felt extremely comfortable leaving Bentley with Melissa while we enjoyed the area. You won’t find a better place for your pet to stay!!

Melissa was amazing! Our Mattie went into heat unexpectedly while we were vacationing and she took it all in stride, took awesome care of her. When we picked Mattie up, she sent us home with a goodie bag of dog treats, which Mattie loved!! I would highly recommend Melissa and we will definitely use her again!

My mom is an amazing cook for dogs, she is very good with the dogs. She plays with them a lot. Takes them out every two- three hours. Let’s them play outside. Gives them snacks. She is very good with dogs. I’d highly recommend my amazing mom!!!

Information Melissa & Shawn H. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if they have a specific routine, also if they are potty trained with pads or outside. I would also like to know if there specific things they like to do play frisbee, walk, run or even just sleep.

A typical day

We have quite a few dog parks around here not to mention I love nature and the woods and any chance I can get to spend time outdoors especially enjoying the fresh mountain air. i spend a lot of time at the rivers or in the mountains.I have a huge yard for your pet to enjoy and although not fenced in we are secluded off the main road.
