Pet care experience

Fun family for your furry friend!

My husband and I had a variety of dogs growing up and have experience caring for our son's dogs. We have cared for our neighbor's cats and look forward to helping others with their pets. We had a house rabbit for a number of years, whom we cared for daily.

Melissa was a wonderful sitter for my Joey. She communicated frequently and timely, sent pictures and most of all, Joey seemed very comfortable in her lovely home. I will definitely use her again.

What a great family! Melissa and Ryan treated our pup as part of their family. We've tried other options in the past where multiple dogs were involved. Tillie wasn't a fan. She likes people, particularly kids. Melissa and Ryan only watch one dog at a time. You could tell Tillie had fun. I would definitely book with them in the future!

You know you have a good dogsitter when after just one night, your dog doesn’t want to leave when you pick them up! Thanks so much Melissa and Ryan!!

Perfect fit for our senior girl who loves to walk! She got lots of human attention and time outside. Would love to have Melissa and her family dog sit for us again!

Melissa and Ryan and family are amazing! Ellie was with them for 11 days while I was on vacation. Melissa sent me updates with pictures every night which warmed my heart! And knowing Ellie was with the right active family with a big back yard was the best decision I could make…. I highly recommend them for your fur baby! They’re the best!

Safety, trust & environment

We have a spacious back yard, quiet neighborhood for walks, and extra room if dog needs to be kenneled. We also live near a dog park. If your pet was to stay at our home, we would be sure it is treated like part of our family.

A typical day

Our family loves to hike and enjoy the beautiful Door County Land Trusts. We also enjoy relaxing in our quiet backyard, playing fetch and snuggles with our grandpups when they visit. We are home most days. Our children are involved in school events which has us gone on some evenings. We would make sure to make the appropriate accommodations for your pet and communicate with you about the plan to be sure you feel comfortable.

We think it is helpful to know about your dogs temperament - do they like to be around people/children, do they like to stay active. I think it is important to know what strategies are best when your dog needs calming or reassurance. I think it is helpful to know your dogs routine so that we can be consistent for your pet.
