Highlights
Pet care experience
Work from home dog parent!
I am a huge dog lover and have had them my entire life! I have experience with many different breeds ranging from tea cup chihuahua to husky, so I am able to handle them all! I am happy to follow whatever instructions I'm provided so your pup will get exactly the treatment you want. I will love, pet, and play with your dog as if it was my own baby. ***Please note: Since dogs are able to roam around my home freely, I do only take fully house trained animals. Also, to give your dog and mine time to get adjusted, I am only able to accept stays of at least 3 days***

Ratings and reviews
Melissa was absolutely wonderful with Lapa! I was so happy to see how relaxed and joyful he looked when he came back home, even a little chubbier, which is a great sign with his conditions. She took amazing care of all his medical needs and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I truly trust her, her husband, and Lapa’s new best friend, Cooper . I’m already looking forward to the next boarding!
Melissa is INCREDIBLE! Us and Dougie loved her. So attentive and caring. Amazing space as well. Dougie was very comfortable there.
Melissa took such amazing care of my dog while we were traveling internationally for two weeks! I was nervous to leave my senior dog for that long. After meeting Melissa and her sweet pup Cooper, I knew we were in good hands. I would highly recommend Melissa!
We could not be more pleased or grateful for Melissa!! She took such fantastic care of our pup, Pita. I was so nervous to leave her because we just adopted her but Melissa (and her sweet pup Cooper) were such great company. Melissa sent photos daily and always responded quickly when I messaged with any questions or concerns. I could not recommend enough and will happily book her again in the future! Thank you so much!
Melissa did so amazing with Bear! She provided me with daily updates and pictures. Bear has a pretty specific routine, and she catered to him perfectly. He also can get very anxious due to separation anxiety, but he must’ve been extremely comfortable because he ate regularly and didn’t fall off of his routine at all. I will definitely be using Melissa again.
Love leaving my babies with Melissa. I know they are safe and getting spoiled. Highly recommend and will defiantly be rebooking :-)
Calendar and availability
Schedule
I work from home 75% of the time, so your dog will almost always have company. When I do have to go into work, my boyfriend is home (he works from home full time) so there will still be someone with your dog, not to mention that my pup Cooper will always be there!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Dogs have free reign in my home, including be allowed on furniture. I do have a small balcony with a dog door so if your dog likes to sunbathe they can head out there, otherwise they can roam the house. I have one dog of my own who will be very happy to show other dogs around the place!

A typical day
A typical day depends on what your dog enjoys. After exploring the neighborhood we can go for a hike, to the dog park, or just relax at home depending on your dog.
