About: Hello! I'm Fran, a passionate dog lover and guardian with decades of experience in in-home doggie daycare. I care for your beloved dog while you're on holiday, providing them with a holiday of their own. I believe we don't 'own' our pets; we're their guardians, ensuring they're loved, safe, happy, and healthy. I've hosted dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. Each dog has a unique story and personality, and I love getting to know them and watching them bloom as they explore their surroundings. I understand schedules vary and sometimes life presents surprises where we need to find someone to care for our beloved pup at the last minute. I work remotely with a flexible schedule. Let me help you when you need it most. Every day, I plan activities to engage their brains and exercise their bodies, often involving adventures through the neighborhood, trips to the fenced dog park, and visits to the river on hot days. At the end of the day, we enjoy healthy treats that I prepare myself, which also engage their brains and senses. I live in Vancouver, Washington, with my 8-year-old black lab mix, Murphy, who loves humans and other dogs and is non-aggressive. My home is well-maintained with a large deck where dogs can play and relax.I work from home which means your 'kids' are never left alone for long periods.
“Jocelyn is amazing and takes great care of my small dog. She checks in before taking him to a dog park, shares great pictures and just cares for every dog with so much love. Thanks, Jocelyn!”
“Markus and Simona are so awesome. They’re very professional, communicative, flexible and friendly. They took great care of my 2 doggers and we will definitely see them again.”
“Seth and Jean (and Luke) took great care of my nervous little man. I enjoyed my time away more knowing that he was getting all of the love, cuddles, and attention that he needed.”
“Carson was very kind and accommodating! Jackson was really happy and comfortable with his stay with Carson. He was very flexible and responsive to messages. We will definitely be using his services again.”
“Alex regularly takes exceptional care of my dog when I'm out of town. She's professional, reliable, kind, and my dog is always happy to see her and her dogs.”
“After a meet and greet with Barry, I booked a half-day stay before my dog June's 1st week-long stay. He was friendly and listened well to my questions and concerns. His dog Shakka and June got along well and Barry sent 2 photos during the 4-hr stay to show that both dogs were chill with each other after their initial greeting. He is kind and caring and accommodated all my concerns. I have confidence that June's week-long stay will go beautifully!”
“Peter took my puppy on more walks than he gets at home! He came home tired, which is hard to do with this fella. I appreciated the generous care he offered my puppy.”
“Frank enjoys spending his time with Don (and Hunter) very much. He gets excited when we pull up to the house, because he knows he's in for a day of fun and VIP treatment. I highly recommend Don and Melodie for both Daycare and Boarding.”

Angela is a phenomenal sitter. she loves my dog like she's her own and keeps my anxious dog calm and spoiled!
Venus is the best pup sitter I’ve had. Shes attentive and so very caring. All 3 of my dogs came home each day happy and tired. She responded to my texts throughout the day quickly with fun pictures of my dogs being dogs!! I will be adding Venus to our play schedule for more fun times 🐾🐾
These two always take the best care of Stella! She gets excited to get to their house and always leaves happy. I always know she’s in good hands while I’m at work 😊
