Melissa never fails to make sure our boy Otis is well taken care of! Very communicative and sends several photos and updates of how he is doing everyday. Highly recommend booking with her!

Melissa was helpful, kind and dependable and loves her dogs. Our dog did fine with her and her dogd, and if we are in the area and again needed a place for our pup, we'd call on Melissa again.

Melissa was so great with our dog. We received many updates, and she was so quick to respond to any questions. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs someone to watch their dog for boarding or daycare. We will be booking with her again soon

Schedule

I work from home full time and my husband has a job that allows him to be off for some days during the week that allows any pets boarding full care. My work does not require me to be on phones, so I will not be caught in phone calls unable to tend to your babies. My puppies usually lay at my feet while I work and I can take several breaks to let them out throughout the day.

Safety, trust & environment

We live on an acre and I have a large partially fenced in yard that my two furry huskies love to race laps in. One is female and the other is Male. I have a kennel as well should your dogs need one while they are here. I have enough room in our home that I can separate your pups from mine should your dogs not get along with other animals. My home is a smoke free household. As an owner of two energetic huskies I believe that exercise for our pups is imperative, as well as keeping their minds stimulated by doing tricks and other activities. They get a few miles in a day and also run and chase each other in our yard. Your puppies will be treated as if they were our own!

Pets

A typical day

A typical day here: The pups get plenty of play in with their dog toys. For our high energy pups we will ride bikes and they will run beside us, we go on walks long or short (please specify during boarding), and get some good playtime in the backyard! We tend to work on tricks either one on one or as a group, and other fun activities, etc. Sometimes it is good to just relax as well. I can accommodate each puppies needs. Send your fur babies my way and they will have a great time! I cannot wait to meet them.
