Dogs are Family! Lovins & Hugs!

Pet care experience

We also can board and care for your cats, kitties, ferrets, bunnies, hamsters, gerbils and guinea pigs too. *We have a 6 foot privacy fenced yard *We also do and have done long term boarding. I have had dogs and kitties since I was a little girl. Love, love, love! Nothing feels more natural than to be around dogs, puppies and kitties. In our family they are family and that goes for any and all including yours. We have worked with training, administering medicine and clipping nails through the years as well as enjoy dog walking. I, as well as my family, are articulate, caring, loving people and astute to any needs or care the dog or puppy needs. We have been at our current address for over eighteen years and live by a park as well as in the center of our neighborhood so we are not near any busy streets making it a perfect place for dog walking. I do this full time so they are my focus. I love and enjoy caring for them and making sure they have everything they need and are comfortable. The same I would like if we took our pups or kitty to someone for watching. There is nothing that feels happier or more natural to me as well as my family to have ourselves surrounded with dogs, puppies and kitties. We would love to be the care you need for your puppy or kitty while you are away and know they are in good caring hands. Thank You We've done this for over 3 years and full time. We are dedicated to our work of taking care of and looking after people's pets to ensure peace of mind while you are away We follow the routine and typical schedule that you do at home as closely as possible. For instance their food measurements and eating times through the day, any meds needed, playtime and exercise as well as rest time etc.

Information Melissa M. would like to know about your pet

It would be important to know ahead of time whether they get along well with others or not so we can schedule accordingly. Also making sure everyone is covered for flea and tick.

A typical day

Playing fetch, frisbee and running around the yard together. We primarily stay in our fenced yard as it is like our own park space. We will only go for walks if the owner requests.
