Doggy Day Care • Jul 06, 2026

Melissa and her family took great care of our 1st-timers! They were clearly well-cared for and even received a mini spa day while they were there for the day. We would definitely visit them again!

Melissa is amazing! She took such great care of our dog. She sent us lots of pictures and updates. He was so happy when we picked him up and even got a bath. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🐾

I am so impressed with the way Melissa and her family treat our Duke. He is poised at her house. They entertain him, take him for walks, and treat him like family. I’m very grateful for them!

Schedule

I have a flexible, structured daily routine that allows me to provide consistent, attentive care throughout your pet’s stay. Each day includes walks, playtime, enrichment, feeding, potty breaks, and plenty of love and companionship. Because I’m home for most of the day, your pet will receive lots of attention, supervision, and affection, helping them feel comfortable, secure, and right at home. 🐾

Safety, trust & environment

My home features a secure, fully fenced backyard with a gated enclosure, allowing pets to safely enjoy supervised outdoor time. Inside, dogs are treated like family and are welcome to relax and roam freely in my air-conditioned home. I only use a kennel if it is part of your dog’s normal routine, if they’re a kennel-trained puppy, or if it’s necessary for their safety when I’m briefly away from home. I provide plenty of love, attention, playtime, and comfort while following your pet’s usual routine and any special instructions you provide. Dogs are rarely left alone, as I’m home for most of the day, so they receive lots of companionship and care. You’ll also receive multiple photo and video updates throughout their stay, or as often as you’d like, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

Pets

A typical day

I provide a loving, attentive home where every pet is treated like family. Daily walks, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of companionship are all part of their routine. I take pride in keeping your pet happy, comfortable, and well cared for by providing fresh filtered water throughout the day, washing food and water bowls after each meal, and maintaining a clean, safe environment. I also care for your pet’s belongings as if they were my own, keeping bedding, toys, and feeding areas clean and organized. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away.

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, dietary restrictions, medications, allergies, or specific routines or behaviors I should be aware of. I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs and will do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible. My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home while you’re away.
