Fenced in and full of fun

Pet care experience

Effective immediately, due to a family emergency we are going to temporarily stop our dog services except walks and check in visits currently. My huge apologies for any inconveniences. If you currently do have a booking I will private message you. Thank you for your understanding and we hope to help doggy families once again soon. Again my apologies for any inconvenience and thank you everyone for the wonderful times we have had with your doggies and families Hi Everyone! My name is Melissa and I have been caring for animals for pretty much my whole life. I made it into a career now that I have a family and the experience has been amazing. I provide a family oriented, safe, clean and FUN environment for all furry guests. (Even the non furry animals.) I have a wonderful family filled home where your pet(s) will get tons of love and attention from the whole family. My home has sectioned off areas of the house where your pet(s) can roam free as well as the ability to crate if desired. I have a nice sized yard in addition to a wonderful dog park that is only 5 minutes away that my family and I frequent often. I do have a fenced in yard where the dogs can run, play and do their business at their leisure. The benefit of having a dog park near by is the dog(s) are able to run free. There has never been an issue of any safety or concerns for any animal I have cared for. The strength I have is I have a whole family involved under my supervision. I am located in close proximity to i-84 and I do have crates if necessary. Please check the site for what I offer and please don't hesitate to ask any questions. I am home most of the day and my boyfriend is home at night. Our visiting doggy friends will be able to go outside every few hours and get around the clock attention Every dog gets around the clock attention and at meal time it is mandatory for all dogs to be separated before the food bowls are served. If for any reason I have an errand to run during the day the dogs are separated for safety

Melissa is a wonderful cat sitter! She always sends notes about her time with the cats, and we all adore the pictures. My cats can be shy, but they always come out to spend time with her. It’s a relief to know they’re in good hands!

Melissa was great. It was the first time leaving my pups overnight with someone. Melissa sent lots of pictures and was responsive to our texts. Will defiantly use Melissa again.
