I don't work outside the home anymore. I do leave for shopping and appointments but am home most other times. Sitting the dogs is my full time job and my pleasure. Drop off/pick up times are from 8am - 7pm. Day boarding runs from 7am - 6:30pm. All guests must be vaccinated including bordetella and flea prevention. If fur baby has ever shown animal or person aggression, I can not board in my home but can accommodate and do frequent drop ins at your home.

A typical day

I love to take pets to go explore new parks, trails, smells, sights, fields, car rides, anything that could stimulate them and get out all of that high energy they may possibly have. I will also accommodate for senior dogs who are not able to do certain things for long.

20+ years experience!

Pet care experience

Ive cared for pets since I was 10 years old. Caring for not just my personal pets but as well as family and friends pets. I have experience in caring for dogs, cats, and even other pets as well such as guinea pigs, ferrets, and even reptiles. I have a rescue dog, she is a 6 year old american bully mix, she is so loving and spends most of her time curled up next to my 11 year old autistic son. She loves car rides, going to the park or bike rides on the trails. I also have a male ferett who I swear acts just like a crazy cat. He loves jumping around doing his "war dance", he will steal our shoes and hide them under beds. As well as play hide and pounce with our dog. I am able to care for not just your furry animals but your reptile babies as well.

Melissa took amazing care of our dog and I will definitely be using her in the future. She kept us updated regularly with photos, updates and even videos. Our boy had a great time. He clearly played hard and was well loved.

Finn had the best time with Melissa and her family! It was his first time being boarded. I was worried he would have issues settling in. Boy was I wrong! Finn made himself right at home! Melissa kept me updated with pictures and messages everyday! I won’t leave him with anyone else now! So grateful I found Melissa and she was able to get Finn in. I was at ease knowing he was being well taken care of and most of all loved! Finn also looked and smelled great when I picked him up. I will absolutely be a repeat customer! Thank you SO much, Melissa! ♥️

Melissa was great with Nina, she sent updates and pictures. I would totally use her every time. She even bethed her and clipped her nails after asking permission. Nina was a happy pup.
