Information Melissa W. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there is anything special I need to know about your pup. If they are shy to new people I'd love to meet the pup for a walk prior to boarding if it will make them more comfortable.

A typical day

Enjoy the outdoors! There are a number of parks near by that are dog friendly. Or for more content pups, hanging around the house and getting plenty of attention works too!

Compassionate,flexible animal lover

Pet care experience

Hi! Im Melissa. I've always had a passion for dogs. In fact i've had four dogs throughout my life. All ranging in different breeds from Boxer, Pit bull, Chocolate Lab, and Chihuahua! As you can tell I love pups of all shapes and sizes. I'm a very active person and enjoy going on long walks/runs with dogs. Providing a safe and clean place for your pup is important to me. I'm very compassionate about animals and would love to help you take care of your four footed friend!

We booked Melissa last minute for a trip we had to take. She was super responsive and extremely sweet. Melo had fun there and I would absolutely use her again if we’re ever in the area.

Chester loved Melissa! He made his special "howl" when he saw her coming. She was always punctual, always smiling, even in bad weather! She happily took Chester to the beach and in the surf, his absolute favorites. I heartily recommend her.
