Ryan & Melissa's Doggie Day Care

Hi there! We’re a husband and wife team who share a deep love for animals of all kinds. Whether it's a playful pup, a shy senior dog, or a curious cat, we treat every pet like family—with lots of love, patience, and belly rubs! We’ve both grown up with animals and have years of experience caring for pets of all sizes and temperaments. From daily walks to at home visits, your fur baby will be in safe, loving hands with us. We believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and at home—even when their humans are away. We’d love to meet your pet and learn more about their unique personality and routine. Let us know how we can help care for them like our own! Warmly, Melissa & Ryan

Schedule

Hi there, Melissa here :) I’m a professional photographer who works a majority from home, which gives me the flexibility and time to care for pets throughout the day. Whether it's drop-in visits, walks, or housesitting, I’ll make sure your furry friend feels comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

I understand how much trust it takes to have someone stay in your home and care for your furry family member. That’s why I treat every dog + kitty cat and home with the utmost care, respect, and attention. While you’re away, I’ll stick to your dog/cats regular routine—feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and snuggles—so they stay happy, relaxed, and stress-free. You’ll receive updates and adorable photos during my stay (bonus: I’m a photographer!), and I’m always just a message away if you need anything. Whether your dog/cat loves fetch in the backyard or cozy naps on the couch, I’m here to give them all the love and care they deserve while you’re away. Your doggie or kitty cats safety and happiness are my top priority—and I take that responsibility to heart.

Pets

A typical day

-Daily Walks & Outdoor Time – Whether it’s a stroll through the neighborhood or backyard fetch, I make sure your dog gets plenty of fresh air and exercise tailored to their energy level. -Playtime Galore – From tug-of-war and ball-chasing to puzzle toys and gentle games for seniors, I love keeping pets entertained and mentally stimulated. -Cuddles & Companionship – I work mostly from home, so your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches. Expect lots of one-on-one attention, snuggles on the couch, and calm presence throughout the day. -Stick to Their Routine – I follow your pet’s daily schedule closely—feeding times, bathroom breaks, naps, and evening wind-down time—to make sure they feel secure and stress-free. -Photos & Updates – You’ll receive sweet updates and cute pictures while you’re away (bonus: I’m a photographer, so they’ll look great!).
