A Loving Home Away from Home.

Pet care experience

Welcome and hello! I’m Melissa and I offer a unique, caring and fun dog sitting experience for your pets. Just a 10 minute drive from the San Francisco airport, you can drop off and pick up on your way to the airport. I have over 4,000 square feet of secured, fenced in beautiful yard for your dog to play in as well as a shaded patio area and a sunroom that they can lounge in. I will take your dog outside approximately every two hours for playtime, including frisbee or ball, as well as give them lots of cuddle time indoors. They also have free access to the fenced yard. Your dog can remain crate-free or crated, whatever you prefer. I grew up on a ranch surrounded by animals, so I am a true animal and dog lover. Over the last 7 years, I have been a dog walker, dog sitter, and a foster home for dogs. I have over 475 5-star reviews on Wag!, and I even have another business named Muttley’s Playhouse which allows me to work from home. I want you to feel confident and safe leaving your dog in my care. I can accommodate all of your needs, including short term stays, extended stays, holiday coverage and doggy daycare, as well as last minute, early and late pick ups. My current capacity is four dogs for daycare and two dogs for overnights. During the holidays, I can accept two more dogs. I will also send plenty of pictures and video updates. I prefer a casual meet and greet prior to booking to make sure that this experience will be a fit for your dog, but it is not mandatory. Daycare drop off starts at 7am until 7pm. Boarding is 24 hrs from drop off. Thanks for reading and I hope your fur baby will be visiting me soon!

George had the best weekend with Melissa! I loved that she sent me videos and updates throughout the weekend! She also made George homemade organic bone broth- his new favorite food!

Melissa is great! Easy drop off / pick up. Her home is a doggy wonderland. She send photos and videos throughout the day so show how Archie was doing. Clearly dogs love her and she is great with them. Highly recommend!

We needed a sitter to watch our pup, Cooper, while we packed and got ready to move out of state. Melissa was responsive, kind, and caring with Cooper. I couldn’t imagine him being in any better hands during this busy day - we got videos and photos all day long showing how much fun he was having! Thank you so much for the care you showed and the piece of mind you gave us.
