We work from home daily and make a point of walking at least once a day, no matter the weather (with or without a four-legged friend). Our house is steps away from the Chelsea rails to trails so we have miles of fun trails to explore together! Our home has multiple water stations, dog beds, and dog toy stations. Play time, brushing and cuddles are the highlight of the day in our home, so we make time for these regularly throughout the day!! We love to play with our furry friends!

We work from home daily and make a point of walking at least once a day, no matter the weather (with or without a four-legged friend). Our house is steps away from the Chelsea rails to trails so we have miles of fun trails to explore together! We also have the privilege of living on a quiet and 2 acre lot on a quiet side street, giving us many options for playing with your pooch, rain or shine. Our home has multiple water stations, dog beds, and dog toy stations. Play time, brushing and cuddles are the highlight of the day in our home, so we make time for these regularly throughout the day!! We love to play with our furry friends! Our goal is to ensure your dog has a positive experience each time the visit. By ensuring they are stimulated physically, mentally, and emotionally, we all benefit from the experience! A quick note about compatibility: To ensure a safe, calm, and positive environment for everyone—especially our returning clients—dogs staying with us must be non-aggressive toward other dogs. If your dog requires one-on-one care or has challenges with dog interactions, this may still be possible by arrangement, but an additional fee may apply to fairly account for the extra supervision and management required. We’re always happy to discuss your dog’s needs openly to determine the best fit.

YOUR DOG'S HOME AWAY FROM HOME!
Pet care experience
My husband (Scott) and I have had dogs (and other animals) our entire lives. Over the years, we have consistently opened our home to rescues, strays, fosters, friend/ family pets, and have even socialized 4 litters of feral kittens for the Humane Society. Scott also has close to 15 years’ worth of experience with the Humane Society as a cruelty investigator. In 2024, we had to say farewell to both our aged cat and dog . We so miss our four-legged companions and are now ready to share our home again by spoiling your furry friends with exercise, cuddles and play time. So, doing so through Rover seemed like a natural fit. We both work from home, giving us the flexibility to pamper, exercise and stimulate your pooch! If our energy wanes at all, rest assured our 9-year-old son is always ready to step in with his endless enthusiasm 😊 Our extensive experience with senior animals, has also provided us with skills in administering medication, attending to spinal injuries, elderly pets, specialized food preparation etc. Having owned a rescue dalmatian, two rescue miniature dachshunds, and a 3-legged hound, we are also very familiar how to accommodate special needs, diets, injuries etc. Most importantly, we have learned that each furry friend has their own unique personality! 😊 A quick note about compatibility: To ensure a safe, calm, and positive environment for everyone—especially our returning clients—dogs staying with us must be non-aggressive toward other dogs. If your dog requires one-on-one care or has challenges with dog interactions, this may still be possible by arrangement, but an additional fee may apply to fairly account for the extra supervision and management required. We’re always happy to discuss your dog’s needs openly to determine the best fit. We can’t wait to meet your fur baby and spoil it like it is our own (and we will send you pictures to prove it)!

Reviews
I can’t recommend Melody and Scott enough. Fionn is showered with love, attention, and tons of playtime. He comes home tired and clearly well cared for. It feels like his second home/family, and he truly misses everyone when he leaves. The regular photos and updates make my day and give me such peace of mind knowing he's in very good hands.
Meatball had an amazing time with Melody, Scott, and family! I received so many photos and videos so I knew he was having a blast. Melody was so helpful and a fantastic sitter for our energetic corgi! We picked him up and he was sad to go. Definitely recommend Melody and Scott!
Second time Zara has stayed with Melody and Scott. They are amazing people to leave your four legged best friend with. Definitely recommend them and hope they will be available next time we can’t bring Zara with us.
This is our second time with Melody and Scott and we will def book with them again! They are so loving, having amazing communication, and integrated our dog right in their family. Couldn’t imagine a better place
