Accepting one pup to love at a time

Pet care experience

Thank you for considering Paradise for Paws. Where your doggie (or family of doggie's) is the only king of our castle! You will not find any crates or dog runs at our house because we accept just one fur baby at a time (we can accept more if they come from one household) so that your pup gets all of our attention and free reign of the house in a calm environment. Our single family home surrounded by a gated grassy yard is located in NW Reno just outside of Somersett. My husband Rick and our two children are huge animals lovers and longtime pet owners of Great Danes, Golden Retrievers, American Eskimos, cats, guinea pigs you name it! We are currently "fur baby" deficient and are welcoming temporary fur children into our home. We are experienced in taking care of special needs dogs so rest assured they will get the attention they need if the require medication, a special diet etc. We have lots of cozy spaces inside for naps and room to run outside when they're feeling playful. Included your dogs stay is a daily walk of various lengths depending on their energy level. Since the passing of our last dog we haven't been ready to welcome a new fur baby of our own so we're taking advantage of enjoying others so we can travel with our family.

There are not enough words to express our gratitude to Melissa and family. We now have confidence to leave our senior dog knowing she is happy and enjoying her time while we are away. Peace of mind is worth it's weight in gold. Thank you SO MUCH!

Such a nice home and wonderful family. Melissa sends photos and updates. Their 2 children help play with my dog and he came home very happy! Need to plan another trip so he can visit them again!

I really appreciated how Melissa and her family took my Big Ben into their home to be boarded for the first time at the last minute. I could not have left him m in better hands. They loved him like he was their own. I highly recommend using their service.

Melissa was everything you want/need in a puppy sitter. She is so sweet, reliable, respectful, everything! Definitely recommend her to take care of your loved pets anytime. This is a perfect puppy home away from home. I was so nervous to leave my pup for the first time but Melissa made the entire process welcoming.

Information Melissa M. would like to know about your pet

We'd like to know their temperament, energy level and what a typical day at home looks like. Do they have lots of energy and prefer to play outside or are more of the napping/quiet type preferring a cozy bed inside. We ask that your pet be a well behaved guest (not an escape artist) and be good with our well behaved children. Vaccines must be up to date and we require your veterinarian's contact information in case of emergency. Although we love them dearly, due to the age of the kiddos we cannot accept pitbull/pitbull mixes.

A typical day

As our guest your dog will receive a daily walk in our safe and quiet neighborhood and play at and around our favorite Valley Wood Park.
