“This was the first time we went away without the sweet little rescue dog that we adopted a year ago. Lucinda was kind and gentle and patient with her, and was able to build trust. We just got home, the dog is in great soirits, and the house looks great! We received daily updates that set our minds at ease. We are so grateful for the outstanding care that Lucinda provided while we were away!”


“Animals were super happy with Shannon! Our cat doesn't warm up quickly to new people, but he was immediately very social during Shannon's stay, and came home to happy pets. Thanks Shannon!”


“Lilliana went above and beyond in watching our home and dog, giving us so much peace of mind and going the extra mile from meet and greet to when we returned from our trip! Cannot recommend her enough!”


“Justine made sure my kitty was safe and cared for. She did a pre-meet and was timely to the appointment. Even though I didn't have any communication methods during my time away she sent msgs letting me know she had arrived and left and status pictures. The one time I had cell service she was quick to reply and let me know all was well.”


“Donita house-sitted for us and took wonderful care of our 2 doggies. She communicated with us throughout the 2 weeks we were travelling just to let us know things were going smoothly. We are very happy with Donita and recommend her.”

“Lesley was a gem! She took impeccable care of Olive for a week at our house. We received pictures and updates and didn’t worry a minute during our trip. Returned home to a clean house and a happy dog!”


“It was so great to come home and see the cats and everything else had been so well taken care of. The communication with Melissa was great throughout our 18 days away. We especially loved Melissa's appreciations for each of our girls' uniqueness and personality. Melissa obviously is able to adapt to the situation she is in and make it a good experience for pets of all kinds. We look forward to engaging Melissa. again.”


“Alyssa stayed overnight with our two dogs for the second time and, again, did a phenomenal job! We came home to two very happy pups and a house just the way we left it. Cannot recommend her enough!”


“Briauna did an amazing job watching my cat and dog. She sent me photos while I was gone that made my heart so happy every time. I could tell my pets loved her and were comfortable! So thankful to have found her and will definitely rebook with her in the future. 🙏❤️✨🙌💕 Thank you Briauna!”


“Johnny did an excellent job watching my senior bulldog, Moose. Johnny was responsive and sent well timed pics/ updates. Also my house was nice and clean when I got home. I will not hesitate to book them again! Thank you Johnny.”


“Jess stayed with our two dogs over the weekend. She was easy to correspond with and took great care of our dogs! She went out of her way to leave the house just as she found it which was so appreciated. Would highly recommend her and will absolutely book her again in the future. 💜”

“Helped us out with really short notice. The dogs loved her and she did an excellent job. Would definitely book with her again and recommend her to others.”



“Alex was great! Super flexible and communicative. Our dogs our a little nervous meeting new folks and he handled it great! He sent photos while we were away which was a great plus!”


“Imani was wonderful and sent many updates of our cats and pup. I appreciate her taking the time to reach out with any questions, send updates, and keep us updated. I’ll say our cats and dog were a little disappointed when we showed as I could tell they were getting so much attention from Imani. We definitely recommend her and will use her in the future. Thank you so much!”


“Katie is outstanding! We hired her to house-sit and dog-sit for 9 days and she did a wonderful job. Our dog truly loved her and seemed so happy every day in the photo and video updates she sent us, which is a big deal because he usually feels anxious when we're not around. Katie really focused on relationship building with him, she kept his routine, and she gave him lots of love and attention. On top of that, she watered our plants, kept the house very clean, and did so many thoughtful favors for us (like emptying the dishwasher, taking out the trash, and changing the sheets so we could come home and crash). I would absolutely recommend Katie. I had complete peace of mind on my trip knowing my dog and home where in excellent hands. I will definitely be hiring her again!”


“Paul was very conscientious. He followed through on all his duties and our dogs were even a little bit better behaved when we got home. All my plants were doing good and the house was clean. He also had to deal with a last minute ear infection for one of our dogs. I will definitely use him again. Thanks Paul!”


“Lillian was terrific with my pup. He was even recently neutered and required special attention and Lillian was able to accommodate us. I was very thankful!”



About: Hi, I’m Marci, and I’m your dog’s second best friend! I'm a licensed massage therapist for people, horses and dogs. I'm very intuitive, nurturing and compassionate, and I have been a dog owner for the past 20 years. I work from home part time so I'm home every day, which means I can hang out with your dog all day! I love just about everything about dogs, from the way they curiously sniff the air during walks, to when they eagerly nudge my hand for a pet or massage. I treat all animals like family, and make sure they have what they need and want. If you leave your dog with me, you can rest assured they will be pampered with plenty of love, affection, and patience. I also know canine CPR and have basic medical skills. My goal is to provide a safe, trusted and loving environment for your pet so you wont have to worry while you're away. For additional peace of mind all dogs in our care will wear a GPS collar that can be tracked at all times. I truly feel that dogs are like people -- they are each unique and special in their own way! I would love to know what makes your dog different and unique, down to those hidden quirks and personality traits. Dogs bring out the best in me: my compassion, empathy, love, and encouragement all improve when I spend time with furry friends of all shapes, sizes, and breeds. I promise to shower your dog with all these things, and more! If your dog loves the outdoors, exploration, and long walks, then I’m the right sitter for your! I love to hike and horseback ride on my horse. I love to take my dogs to new places and introduce them to new experiences. One of my favorite seasons is summer, just because I can spend more time outside. However, the cold fall and winter weather means I get to snuggle up with your dog indoors -- either way, it’s a win! In addition to dogs, I have experience with horses, cats, gerbils, rats, hamsters, and birds. I am here to make whatever pet you have feel comfortable, but you’re my client, too! Let me know what you need to feel comfortable leaving your pet with me, including how many updates you would like. I’d love to meet you and your pet, so please contact me to set up a Meet and Greet. I’m sure we’ll be fast friends in no time.

“Melissa was very reliable, great to communicate with, and my little man was so happy when I came home. I could tell she was great with him. She took great care of my home as well. I will be using her for more travel down the road!”

“So grateful to have met Guli! It’s always so difficult for me to leave my babies at home alone, but Guli sent me updates regularly with pictures. I was able to have peace of mind that my kitties were taken care of :)”
