Information Melissa & Nigel B. would like to know about your pet

We feel it is very important to disclose all concerns you have about your dog - do they have anxiety, reaction to other animals / humans. Do they get along with other dogs? Any triggers? The more we know, the better equipped we are to deal with your dog.

A typical day

Absolutely great walking trails in our area plus the lake so depending on your dog's needs, we have it all. Do they like to play ball? Frisbee?

Melissa & Nigel are simply amazing. They take such great care of our dog, truly treating him like one of their own. He gets plenty of attention, playtime, and walks. And as an active breed, that makes all the difference. They consistently go the extra mile to make sure his needs are met, which gives us real peace of mind when we’re away. We especially appreciate the steady stream of photos and updates! Most importantly, Nico absolutely loves them. We couldn’t ask for better sitters.

Thanks again for watching Ekko. He always comes home happy and tired. It’s so obvious he enjoys his time with you both.

Melissa and Nigel are absolutely amazing. Our 11 month old puppy Marley truly enjoyed all the comforts and love of home while being taken care of by Melissa and Nigel. From the endless cuddles, long walks, playtime Melissa and Nigel exceed all of our expectations and then some. Amazing communication, tons and tons of wonderful pictures daily they went above and beyond across the board! This was the first time Marley ever stayed overnight without us and she definitely loved her stay with Melissa and Nigel. If we could give them 10 stars we would without question. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
