“Marissa took very good care of my senior pup while I was away at work!! She was very nice and friendly and showed special care to Macey. Very happy we booked with Marissa!!”
“Kobe loves Joseph and he never wants to come home. Joseph takes great care of Kobe and sends pictures/videos throughout the day. Up next is one week of boarding with Joseph while we go on vacation!”
“Jenning is amazing! From the time I reached out she was responsive and quickly accepted my request for last minute daycare. She was so patient and kind when we arrived and took my pup out on a walk right after I left and sent a photo of him within the first 30 minutes. I think I had more seperation anxiety thamy dog. When I checked in she responded promptly, assured me he was doing great, and shared pictures from their afternoon hike. I will definitely reach out to her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take excellent care of your fur baby!”
“Amy and Cathy were very good with my old man Sidney, who is a sort of anxious beagle mix. They indulged me with a second meet and greet before his first stay. Apparently he didn't miss me as much as I thought he would! He did well and we will definitely be going back. Thanks so much!”
“Sesame love staying with Deanna! She was super responsive and took such good care of her. She gave me updates during the day! She didn’t even want to go home afterwards! She also gave her a toy! Definitely would book Deanna again!”
“We booked Shanisa last minute to watch our two dogs, and we couldn’t have been more thrilled. We had a meet-and-greet before, and she was clearly very kind and engaged with the dogs. She had an array of toys and harnesses and came extremely prepared. She sent us video and photo updates to put us at ease. Our dogs had a blast, and we just wish she was in every city we visited!”
“Our dog was well cared for and loved during his day care stay! We could tell he had a wonderful time at Cecelia’s and definitely came out of it making some new friends! Thank you so much!!!”
“My Rocky boy is so happy with Nicole & Ed & little Noodle Doodle… When I”m out at events, I am so at ease knowing my Rocky boy is in good hands, with good who genuinely care! Thank you for taking such good care of my baby! ♥️”
About: I grew up with dogs and have had cats as an adult. I love dogs but I travel too much to have my own, so pet sitting is the next best thing. I work from home and have good control over my schedule. I already take walk breaks during the day (including 45 min - 1 hour at lunchtime) and have a large fenced yard. I give lots of attention and cuddles to any dogs and cats in my care, and ensure plenty of playtime, running, and walks. Dogs and cats are welcome in my workspace while I’m working, and on the furniture throughout the house.
“Danita’s family were very kind and loving to our dogs. We had a last minute need for care and they were very quick to respond and agree to care for our dogs. I highly recommend them!”
