Let me spoil your bestfriend🤩🐾

I have grown up with dogs my entire life and can say I love dogs more than people😂 I am a dog owner and have been caring for dogs for years. I love having owners know their dogs are well taken care of and loved while they are away. My two pups love playing ball in our fenced yard, playing with toys, and chillin on the couch. No better feeling than a happy and healthy pup.

Melissa was awesome with Harley!! Very communicative sending photos and videos throughout. Harley had so much fun with her outside playing fetch. If your pup likes to be spoiled, definitely book Melissa. Thank you for taking care of him and I’m booking again!

We had a fantastic experience with Melissa! She took wonderful care of our dog and kept us updated throughout the stay with lots of videos and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear our pup was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter!

Doggy Day Care • Feb 27, 2025

Melissa was amazing!! She took my late request and made my dog’s day the best at daycare. She sent us pictures and videos throughout the day and provided my dog the attention needed. Can’t wait for Mao to play with his new friends again!

Melissa and her husband were incredible with our pup, George. We were able to slowly introduce George to their pups who immediately became great friends. We received constant photos and videos reassuring us that he was eating/sleeping well and healthy. They provided George with EVERYTHING he needed for a successful vacation and would play with him any time he wanted. We felt completely comfortable having George stay with Melissa and her husband and would very strongly recommend their service!

Melissa is amazing. I have felt so comfortable every time she has sat for Miska. The regular updates and pictures are appreciated and show the amount of love and care Melissa is putting in to watching my girl while I am away. I highly would recommend her to anyone needing a sitter. She's top notch!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard for fetch, running around and playing. On colder/rainy days, I have a nice living room for indoor play and a large couch to snuggle up and rest on, all furniture is free game! My dog has separation anxiety so working/training him on that is ongoing. Because of this, all household items in the living room/dining/kitchen is stored very well. There isn’t much available for pups to try to get into! Because I am remote for most of the week, I am able to spend lots of time with your fur baby. Whether they want to just hang out on the couch or do zoomies in the yard— I’m here for it! Depending on the dog, I have a kennel if they prefer a space for themselves. I have dog beds in every room as well with they prefer to be alone.
