Information Melissa & Harlee B. would like to know about your pet

It is important we know if your dog has any allergies, takes any medications or if they have any ailments that affect their daily life. Overnight dogs we need to know their normal sleeping protocol. Dogs are welcome to sleep anywhere they are comfortable. We do not crate dogs unless it is requested by owner and crate is provided. We will follow all instructions and schedules provided to ensure your dog is safe and enjoys their time with us.

A typical day

A typical day depends entirely on your dog. We have doggy toys and balls for your dog to enjoy outside or inside. If your dog likes walks there are many beautiful places to walk. Or if they are more into relaxing we have couches, dog beds, and our laps. Overnight guests are welcome to sleep anywhere they are comfortable including beds. While your dogs are visiting we are with them ensuring they are happy and safe.

Pet care experience

We are a mother/daughter team. Together we will ensure your pets are safe, and have a great time here. There are no cats or children around. Our love for dogs is what sparked us to enter the world of pet sitting. Between the two of us, your dog will never be left alone. They will be in a safe, secure, loving environment. We have a beautiful, shaded, fenced in backyard for your dogs to run and play. There are dedicated play areas in the house filled with toys allowing dogs to enjoy regardless of the weather. If your dog wants to rest, couches, dog beds and laps are always available. Leaving your dog with a stranger is scary, we understand and have felt that way ourselves. In addition to our picture updates you are welcome to request statuses anytime during their stay. Our top priority is making sure your dog is happy and safe during their visit. This will enable you to get the most out of your time away from your beloved pet.

Amazing our Cosmo was happy! We’re in a trip in Key West, Our dog wasn’t able to handle the weather. Found Melissa last minute she was very responsive and willing to take Cosmo in. He stayed for the day, she kept us updated. Send us pictures. Thank you again for taking care of him.

I am so thankful to have found Harlee & Melissa. I would highly recommend! My dog, Colby, had an amazing time and loved her a lot. He was immediately comfortable at her house and loved spending time with her. Excellent, quick communication with me. I wish that I lived closer because I would rebook all the time. If I ever make it back to Key West again I am definitely going to reach out. Thank you so much!

I highly recommend her. I was worried because it was the first time he stayed with strangers but he was well taken care of. I loved that she sent me daily pictures to see him. I cannot say enough of how good she was. He will definitely be coming back!
