Pet care experience
Starting November 15th: I will be having a rate increase. If you have boarded with me regularly prior to the increase, you will not receive one you are locked in. New clients who book their stay before the 15th will also receive my old rate NEW CLIENTS: I require a home visit/meet and greet with your dog prior to agreeing to board them. I have my own pups, and want to make sure everyone gets along for an enjoyable stay! Therefore, I will not book any last minute requests that do not allow that. I started as a kennel technician back in high school at a kennel with an average of 20-30 dogs during regular season, and an upwards of almost 150 during holidays.While employed we fed, watered, walked and played with everyone and performed low-maintenance grooming. I also have my own personal dogs who I love - Alley a 2 year old GSP, Arrow a 3 year old GSP and Cheyenne a 4 year old Chihuahua mix. I also own 3 horses and a mini mule, who live at our house. I work full time as a Paramedic in the community. My schedule rotates, but is flexible. We have a full fenced in yard with 5 foot fencing with grass and shade, plenty of room to run and play. I also have the privilege of living in the country with lots of walking trails to keep your furry friend happy.
Reviews
So happy we found Melissa! She is always very accommodating and has gone above and beyond for us! We can leave our Labrador Retriever Bailey with peace of mind, knowing she is in good hands! The love and care really shows! Thankful Bailey has a healthy, happy home to go to while we’re gone!
Absolutely wonderful! Melissa and Victor were fantastic and the dogs had such a blast and were well taken care of!! Highly recommend! Thank you!
Took great care of our pup while out of town for work. Had to stay out an extra day and it wasn't any problem! Melissa and her husband are great caretakers.
Last minute scheduling & she did great with my wild child.

Information Melissa R. would like to know about your pet
Dogs must be crate trained or able to be crated for short periods of time. Please bring your dogs normal food, any treats you'd like them to enjoy, any necessary medications they need, and bedding or toys you'd like them to have in their stay away from home.
A typical day
We have a large pond on a property so summertime swimming is an option! We have way too many dog toys for playtime so your pup will always have fun.
