Information Melissa W. would like to know about your pet

It's very important for me to be aware of your dog's history, behavior, eating habits or any other typical habits (Do's and Don'ts). This will allow me to become an informed and responsible care-taker where you can feel more comfortable.

A typical day

Every pet gets personalized fun based on their personality and energy level, including walks, fetch, tug-of-war, enrichment games, cuddle time, and lots of love and attention.

Pet care experience

We are an active, young family and we are dog lovers! Our dogs are very friendly with tons of energy, so yours will benefit from plenty of exercise and attention. We have a fenced in yard but we also enjoy daily walks around the neighborhood. We understand the importance of making sure your pup is both happy and healthy. In our home, your dog can roam freely from room to room and spend time in a family environment where they will be treated just like one of our own! If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me! We are happy to provide any additional photos and videos during visits to show that your dog is well cared for and happy!

Melissa and her husband were amazing! They made sure my boy was fed well and walked/ran to let go of some energy! Haha. She kept me updated and sent pictures/video. I recommend them and I will definitely be using them again!

Melissa was fantastic! She made Cooper feel like he had a second home and family while I was out of town for a few days. I will definitely make Melissa my first choice next time I need to take a trip.

I love leaving my dog with Melissa and TJ! They're so flexible for drop off and pick up and I know they have fun with my pup!

Melissa and her family kept our large Irish Doodle puppy for 3 nights. They were flexible and accommodating, and willing to take on an energetic 8mo puppy. They have a large yard and a friendly dog of their own to provide company. We will call on them again.
