Pet lovers with fenced yard
Pet care experience
We are a dog loving family who can't wait to treat your fur babies like our family.We have two outside fenced areas, with plenty of space for dogs to play and burn off energy. We do not kennel your dog unless requested. There are two well established pet sitting businesses in our family which we have both helped at. We can't wait to meet you and your fur family! Melissa is a stay at home mom so she is home most the day to play with your pets or take them for walks around the neighborhood. We live in a dog friendly neighborhoods, have two fenced yards, a dog to keep your pets company and two kids who love to play all day long.
Reviews
My dog Bailey spent five nights with Melissa & family 12/23/2022-12/28/2022 over the Christmas holiday. My travel plans were constantly changing due to many flight delays and cancellations from to the nationwide storms, and Melissa was very flexible with my fluctuating pick up and drop off times. They kept me up to date on Bailey with photos and text messages. As far as I can tell Bailey had a great time! There were three other dogs boarding during this time, so Bailey had plenty of company and play time, very important for such a social dog. She slept in bed with the two young girls, so it was just like being at home! Your dog will be in good hands with them.
Will not use again. When I dropped my dog off she was doing great. I messaged the sitter the following morning after I dropped my dog off and the sitter said no issues and my dog was doing great and getting along with her personal dog. In the middle of my dogs scheduled stay, the sitter took in another dog without informing me. I got a message on the second to last day of the stay that the sitter had to separate my dog from the additional dog she took in because she got defensive over her food. My dog has zero history of any behavior like this, and she was having no problems according to the sitter with the sitters personal dog. Will not use again simply because the owner took on an additional dog half way through the time my dog was there and didn't communicate it with me ahead of time.
Mars feels so at home with Melissa and her crew. I love how she includes him as a member of the family and keeps me updated on how he’s doing. I would definitely choose Melissa again.
Melissa and Richard are great. My Steven was exhausted from so much fun with their children. Got pics and updates the entire time. We will definitely use them again.
