Love at first woof
Our dogs are our children. We do the best we can to give them the life they deserve!
Our team, led by Melissa & Will, brings a lifetime of experience and devotion to every pet we care for. With both of us always having animals in our lives and fostering we can ensure that every pet receives the affections and attention they deserve. Together we are committed to treating your pets with the same love and dedication we give our own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and cherished while they’re in our care.
Our dreams revolve around embracing a homestead lifestyle, one where we can live in harmony with nature and our beloved animals. We envision purchasing a property with ample land, where we can create a haven for both ourselves and the animals we care for. This space would allow us to expand our pet sitting services, providing more space to run and play, including a pool for their enjoyment.
In addition to our work with pets, we hope to introduce more farm animals into our lives and cultivating a small sanctuary where dogs in need can find refuge and care. The vision is not just about providing space and facilities; it’s about building a community where animals can thrive, and where we can live a fulfilling life. Our dream is to create a place of peace, love and compassion, where every animal feels at home.
Jax
Meet Jax, our Aussiedor who embodies the perfect balance of energy and relaxation. As a mix of Australian Shepherd and Labrador Retriever, Jax thrives on outdoor adventures- hunting, dock diving, boating, camping, retrieving, hiking or swimming.

But when it’s time to come indoors, Jax knows to switch gears, settling down with a restful calm, enjoying quiet moments of relaxation.

Her love isn’t just reserved for humans; she eagerly makes friends with other dogs, showcasing her affectionate nature.
Spirit
In loving Memory
Spirit, our all white GSD, was more than just a pet; she was a steadfast companion and protector. Born with a nuturing spirit she always seemed to know when someone needed a comforting paw. Her loyalty to our family was unwavering, and she had a unique way of making everyone feel safe and loved. Though she could be a bit sassy with other dogs, her gentle heart always shone through, especially when it came to nurturing them.
Spirit had a zest for life, relishing off-leash hikes, chasing after balls and striking poses for the camera. She was happiest when surrounded by her family, for whom she would do anything. Her bond with her brother Jax was particularly special; they shared a connection that was evident to all who saw them together.
Spirit passed away in December 2022 at the age of 5 1/2 due to DCM and heart failure, leaving a legacy of love, loyalty and unforgettable memories. She will always hold a special place in our hearts, reminding us of the joy and companionship she brought into our lives.
