Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog-loving Duo
We’re a pet-loving couple with experience caring for dogs of all sizes—from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. We've raised a Great Pyrenees and cared for small breeds too, so we understand different temperaments and needs. We're patient, reliable, and attentive to details; whether it’s administering meds, following feeding routines, or giving extra love and care. What sets us apart is the genuine joy we feel spending time with dogs and treating them like our own.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Melissa & Hernando were wonderful and took great care of my dog, Reese. Will certainly book with them again in the future!
Melissa and Hernando did a wonderful job watching our two dogs in their home. They provided us photos each day and made sure they were happy and loved in our abscence.
Melissa and Hernando were kind, flexible and overall great sitters!
Very sweet and we really appreciated their flexibility with pick up and drop off times. The only thing we would have hoped for was sooner and more persistent updates. We had to request an update the first day of the stay and did not receive any updates on our dog on last day of stay.
Hank loves staying with Melissa and Hernando! They watch multiple dogs at once and do a great job introducing them all individually. They send photos which we love. Highly recommend!!
Melissa and Hernando are the best and take such great care of my babies.

Schedule
We both work from home, so we're able to give pups lots of time, love, and attention throughout the day with walks, play, and cuddles.

A typical day
Your pup will have a fun-filled stay with plenty of playtime, exercise, and enrichment. We’ll go on daily walks to explore the neighborhood and keep their minds sharp with interactive games and toys. Whether they love fetch, sniffing trails, or just hanging out—we make sure every pup feels happy and fulfilled.

- We’d love to know everything that helps your pup feel their best! Please share their feeding schedule, potty training habits, and any house rules you follow. It’s also helpful to know if they experience separation anxiety, how they are around other dogs, and whether they’re crate-trained. The more we know, the more comfortable and cared for your pup will be!
