About Melissa
Hello! My husband, myself and our two teenage children are passionate and caring animal lovers. We live in a lovely home, 5 minutes from Blackwood, with a beautiful secure backyard. We have two dogs, April (Spoodle) and Willow (Cavoodle), who just love having friends come to stay and play, and a cat (Snow) who gets along with all dogs, including my parents two large and playful Labrador’s who are featured in our photo gallery.

We specialize in overnight care services for Oodle and low to non shedding breeds in our home and would love to have your dog come and holiday with us. We treat all our guests like one of the family and show them lots of love, care and attention.

Both my husband and I grew up on farms with lots of animals to care for. We have both always owned dogs and are true dog lovers. I have personally owned many breeds of dogs ranging from large to small, including a Tibetan Mastiff, Rottweilers, Labradors, Huntaway, Spoodle, Fox Terrier, Maltese Terrier, Bichon Frise, Cavoodle, Shitzu, and Chihuahuas. Growing up on a farm we always had at least two or three dogs, and nothing has changed!

When your dog stays with us they will be treated like one of the family and enjoy an holiday of their own! They will enjoy car rides, outings to cafes (and perhaps a Puppuchino), lots of cuddles and walks with the family. We spend lots of time with your fur baby and ensure they are relaxed and comfortable. I personally work from home for myself and am flexible with my time which means I can spend the appropriate time with your fur baby to settle them in and make sure everyone is happy and healthy.

Whilst your baby is holidaying with us we will send you regular updates and lots of photos so that you can see what your fur baby is getting up to. We know what it’s like to have to leave your fur baby behind.

Due to having a cat it is a requirement that all dogs we look after are good with cats. If you aren’t sure we can allow them to meet under controlled circumstances at a meet and greet. We will also require of current copy of your dogs vaccination certificate before agreeing to look after them. Please ensure that you are aware of these requirements before submitting an enquiring.

If you are interested in our services we would love to hear from you to arrange a ‘meet and greet’!

Our 6 month old pup Barkley had an amazing time with Melissa and her family. They welcomed him and treated him as part of their family. We loved our photo updates and how happy he looked. Can not highly recommended Melissa high enough.
