Highlights
Pet care experience
Big yard, dog door, work from home!
Our family dog of 18 years recently passed away and our beautiful fenced in yard accessed by a dog door sits unused. Our whole family, including 14- and 11-year-old kids, miss having a furry someone to hang out with. We are all interested in whatever "hangout" may mean ranging from snuggling on the couch, throwing a ball to a great walk! Two spouses with at least one person, and often both, working from home.

Ratings and reviews
Melissa was so patient with our new puppy who is scared of everything. Thanks for helping him take in the big world around him in a fun and safe way today!
Great stay - Melissa took excellent care of our boy including walks, playing and yard time. The updates and pictures she sent were lovely.
Melissa and family kept us constantly updated with our pup during her stay and were incredibly understanding when our flight was delayed and pivoted to doing a drop off. We cannot thank them enough for their care of her.
Thank you for taking wonderful care of Pippa & Chloe. They loved relaxing with you today!
Felt so confident leaving our Sophie with Melissa and her family! Great loving family and perfect environment for our aging dog! Thank you!
Melissa is the best! She takes the absolute best care of our dogs including one who is a special needs dog. Highly recommend her!

Schedule
We start our day early for school around 6:00 am. At least one, and often two, spouses work from home. Most days someone will be at home the whole day/evening. On the weekends we are probably coming and going more but do not have major (day long) commitments.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We care for them like they are our own and how they are most comfortable. They can pick a bed for the night with a preferred human or a spot on the couch. We do have a story and a half with three bedrooms accessed by a flight of stairs. The fencing around the yard is a complete metal fence that is "pool" regulation height - slightly taller than a normal fence. There is approximately three inches between slates.
A typical day
I love walks, throwing the ball in the back yard or just sitting around on the patio. We also like lounging and watching movies or visiting the neighbors for social dogs.
