Full time stay at home dog lover!

Pet care experience

**Wanted to give an update, my husband and I recently had a baby girl. We will still be offering dog services. Her room is in an closed off section of our home where she will spend most of her time.** Hello! My name is Melissa, and i live in Richmond with my husband and 3 dogs. I currently live in a one level home with a huge fenced in back yard. I own my own company from my home so i spend 99% of my day at home, which makes it very easy for me to spend that one on one time with the dogs. We do potty breaks every 1-2 hours, the dogs are not crated all day and have the full ability to lay/sleep where ever they want! The dogs are not left alone outside. We want to make this the easiest part of your travel plans! We are very flexible on pick up and drop off times. We will provide updates and pictures through out your pups stay with us. Thank you for your consideration!

My two girls enjoyed their stay with Melissa and her family. Melissa was very pleasant to work with. She kept me informed with updates on how they were doing throughout their stay. We will be back!!!

Melissa and her family have been wonderful to our dogs for months now. They’re always flexible with my changing schedule, and more importantly, they clearly take care of our dogs as if members of their own family. I am so sad to be moving and losing someone I trust in and appreciate so much. I know the pups will miss Melissa and her family as well!

What a great experience! Atlas loved every minute. Best part was he was he played so much he slept the rest of the evening. Thank you Melissa for working with my schedule and your flexibility.

We have a very big neighborhood with walkways that we take our pups on. We do have a park just a few blocks away that we go to. And we also provide several toys here at home.
