Melody and JD - animal lovers

Pet care experience

My husband and I have implemented "the Cesar way" to raise our husky, Kairo, and love to pass on our knowledge to other pups. In addition to boarding, we can do potty training, crate training, and work on any other issues you may have with your pup! I am currently working from home full-time. I am able to allow potty breaks at least 2 or 3 times an hour as well as plenty of time playing outside in the yard with our husky, Kairo. He is well-behaved and well-socialized and loves playing with other dogs! I can also do daily dog park trips and/or walks. We have a huge 4 acre lot where the dogs can play when they aren’t running around inside. We have 30 ft cables where they can be secured to a ground stake or to a human holding the leash. We practice regular crate time (naps every 2-3 hours) and can work on any training needs. Our husky even prays before he eats :) We have worked with puppies from as young as 8 weeks old: potty training, crate training, etc.

Sadie really enjoyed her time with Melody, James, and Kaiser though she probably wasn't as playful as Kaiser would have liked! Great care and communication. Definitely highly recommend and will use them again when the need arises.

Melody and James were my first sitters on Rover, and they wonderful! I was nervous to leave Ernie for 2 weeks, but we had a meet and greet first and they were so communicative that I felt assured that he was in great hands. They sent photos and videos of him playing with their dog Cairo, who was so friendly and was able to match our dog's high energy. I'd love to bring Ernie back to stay with them again!

What a remarkable experience for both our young Millie, AND her family! Millie not only clearly had a wonderful time, but has even demonstrated progress in her deportment....after only her first 5 day stay! Melody and James are not only responsible and loving caretakers, they are impressively well educated in the area of dog training and psychology. They have given us insightful feedback and helpful tips based on their experience with Millie which we are immediately putting into practice-- Especially because we have another session coming up, and so are hoping to demonstrate Millie's progress in the interim!

Information Melody & James R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special requirements or needs. I am happy to administer any medications or stick to any specific routines or training techniques you have already implemented. We are more than happy to enforce any rules you have in your own home (e.g. no jumping on furniture, sitting before receiving food, etc.)

A typical day

We have a whole dresser full of mentally stimulating toys. We also love to go to the dog park to release some energy and socialize if your dog is used to that.
