Pet care experience

Eat, Play, Love a dog.

Hi I am Melvin, and I live with my partner Sean. I have loved dogs my entire life and wanted to dedicate my career to caring for them when they and their pet parents are in need. I have 5 years of caring experiences, and it has been a huge blessing in my life. My 3 dogs are all super loveable and like making new friends! With this service, I want to treat every dog like they are at home. Every dog is given a chance here, and so far my dogs have made over 250 friends!

Doggy Day Care • Jul 17, 2026

Thank you for taking such good care of Ivy yesterday. Unfortunately she had multiple seizures during the night and is not able to return today. I wanted you to know that it was nothing that you did to cause the cancellation. We hope to see you again soon.

Melvin was so kind and took great care of our sweet girl, Mabel. He took her over 4th of July weekend and she can be a little anxious with fireworks, and there were absoloutely no issues. He had a plan to keep the pup as comfortable as possible! You can really tell that he knows what he’s doing, and loves it too!

Melvin & Sean took wonderful care of our dog Noche. Noche is a senior dog and they gave her the extra special care she needed. Thank you!

Our dog was well cared for and happy. They sent a few pics and were responsive throughout. We’d happily use them again!

Melvin and Sean took such great care of our dog while we were away! We felt super comfortable leaving our dog in their care and our pup had a great time :)

Safety, trust & environment

We have a pretty tall fenced in backyard. Our three dogs love to play and get zoomies out there. We always introduce dogs slowly to the group with a meet and greet first, and dogs that need that special attention will always get it, and then some.

Pets

A typical day

We love to have the dog go outside and just let them be goofy and play to their hearts content, we watch all the action from the patio outside and make sure they have plenty of water for all the fun. We will also do one on one time with dogs and play tug of war with some tug toys.
