Treating your furbabies like family

Pet care experience

I have been surrounded by animals since I was a child, and I truly love them. Caring for pets and giving them love is my passion. I got my first dog when I was 5 years old, and ever since then, animals have been an important part of my life.

Our dog was healthy and happy after a 3 week stay with Melissa. We trust her to take good care of our precious pet. Melissa’s dog, Casper, is a good companion for our dog. We will book a stay again.

Melissa was amazing with my Pittie baby. She sent pictures and videos. Had lots of play time, I saw the dogs playing in the backyard and they looked like they had an amazing time. She was very veryyyy accommodating with my late schedule and my flight delays and I am super appreciative. Book with her if you want some kind and caring to watch your pup!
