Pet care experience
Home full time, Amazing backyard!
My philosophy is “A house without a dog is like a garden without flowers”. I offer a boutique-style boarding and doggy daycare service. Animals are my true passion & they all are my babies to me! I love them all! I enjoy spending quality time with your pet through walking, training, playtime, and enjoying the sunshine and fresh air. Every pup is unique, and I learn something new from them each time I provide my services. I prioritize respect and communication for owners and their pets, strengthening my bond with each pet and reducing the stress they face when their parent(s) are away. People and animals have intuitive ways of communicating, and as part of my services, I include Therapeutic Touch Therapy. Just like humans, dogs can hold nervous tension in their bodies. This tension can lead to discomfort and insecurities and may cause nervous dogs to be even more distrustful. When your pet is relaxed, it helps to strengthen the bond between you and reduces stress and anxiety as they adjust to a new environment while their owner is away. I discovered at a young age that I have a deep connection and excellent instincts with animals. As an adult, I channeled my passion into a career where I can provide dogs with love and special attention. I genuinely enjoy my job, and every dog is treated like my own. ❤️

Ratings and reviews
Giselle and her husband Chris were outstanding taking care of Barkley! They watched him during our honeymoon and sent plenty of updates, took him on walks, little adventures to the water and more. Barkley looked so happy in every picture and video and absolutely loved being with their dog Prince who absolutely loved having company and is such a sweet pup. Will absolutely book again for any boarding needs in the future. Thank you so much.
We cannot recommend our Rover sitters enough! They were absolutely amazing with our boy, Rudder. We received constant updates throughout our trip with pictures, videos, and texts, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Rudder had the best time playing with Prince, their sweet golden retriever, and enjoyed daily walks and little adventures. Their home was extremely clean, welcoming, and it was so obvious that Rudder was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire stay. We are beyond grateful and will absolutely be booking with them again!
Always wonderfully cared for, Stanley comes home happy and tired!!
Giselle took wonderful care of my dog Lucky! She has a lovely home and a great fenced in yard. They took Lucky on walks and adventures each day. She kept me updated on a daily basis with pictures, videos and comments. I would highly recommend Giselle for your dog's care.
We had an amazing experience with Giselle and her husband! This was only our second time leaving our dog overnight at someone else’s home, and the first time was with family who our dog already knew, so we were a little nervous—but they completely put our minds at ease. From the start, communication was excellent. They were quick to respond, asked thoughtful questions about our dog’s routine, and made sure they understood his needs and personality. When we dropped him off, he was a little anxious at first, but they handled it so well. It didn’t take long before he warmed up, and it was clear from the photos and videos they sent that he was having a great time and really settling in. During the stay, we received regular updates, photos, and videos, which really helped us feel comfortable and reassured. Their home was clean, safe, and very dog-friendly. It was clear that our dog was treated like part of the family—he got plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. When we picked him up, he was happy and clearly well cared for. We truly appreciate the level of care and professionalism, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring overnight sitter!
Stanley has the best fun playing with his friend Prince and gets the best care from Giselle.

Schedule
I am committed to being available for everyone and offer flexible, full-time services. For first-time clients, I require a FREE meet and greet. This meeting allows us to get to know each other and for you to meet your pet's sitter, providing an opportunity to address any questions you may have. Scheduling the meet and greet is straightforward and beneficial for sitters, pet parents, and dogs. Doggy boarding lasts a full 24 hours from the time of drop-off. If your pet is picked up after the initial 24-hour period but within 4 hours, there will be a charge for a half-day of care. Any pick-up beyond 4 hours will incur a full day of care charge. My drop-off and pick-up times are from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM for all services.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
**Note:** For liability purposes, I cannot accept dogs that display aggressive behavior, are not up-to-date on vaccinations, or have infectious diseases, bacterial infections, or contagious viruses. During the meet-and-greet, I encourage all pet owners to walk around and observe my setup to ensure that your dog will be in first-rate, excellent hands—this is my top priority and responsibility. I ask several screening questions to adhere to my safety guidelines, which can be found on this site. Dogs should be well-socialized and house-trained. My home and yard are always clean. I have a secure, fenced, pet-friendly yard with artificial grass, and I live with a trained English Cream Golden Retriever puppy. Dogs must have the mandatory core vaccinations, including Bordetella, and be free of diseases like Giardia. I assure you that all dogs in my care have a safe and loving environment. Safety is my utmost priority, and I want you to feel confident that your furry friends are my top concern.
Pets
A typical day
We live near the beach and dog parks, providing plenty of fresh air and opportunities for your dog to exercise. When dogs receive a healthy balance of physical and mental stimulation, they become happy and well-adjusted. I have a secure, fenced-in backyard with pet-friendly grass designed for dogs. They can enjoy plenty of shade, playtime, potty breaks, and even sunbathing in this space. I will walk your dog on the sidewalk, keeping them safely away from the street. For those who prefer that their dogs not be walked, they can have fun playing in the backyard. I promise to give them plenty of playtime and love!
