Pet care experience

Pampered pets, peace of mind

Hi! My name's Gisselle I’m 26, an animal lover, and part of a proud military family. I got into pet boarding as a way to help my family financially while also pursuing something I genuinely love—caring for animals . Growing up with different animals helped develope an understanding that can only come with experience. What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with dogs and my commitment to providing exceptional care. I've cared for dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities, including fostering and rescuing dogs from neglectful situations. Through hands-on experience and self-education in canine behavior and training, I've developed the skills to understand and meet each dog's unique needs. Whether caring for playful puppies, active adults, or senior dogs, I provide a safe, loving, and dependable environment that gives pet owners peace of mind.

Gissell was absolutely amazing! I just moved to the area and was heading to a family reunion when our original sitter had to cancel due to a death in the family. I was so worried about where my pups would stay, but Gissell swooped in with a quick response and immediately put my mind at ease. She treated my dogs like royalty — like they were part of her own family! They had an absolute blast, and I could tell just by how happy and relaxed they were that they truly loved being there. I will absolutely be booking with her again for all future stays. Highly, highly recommend!

Gissell and her family were the best. She sent regular updates throughout the day. She and her family loved on my fur babies and made them feel right at home. Definitely rebooked before current visit was done.❤️

Very reasonable pricing. Took great care of my Tilly. Was able to keep up with her high energy. Loved that she got to play with her pups. Good on updates.

I cannot recommend Gissell highly enough. She is one of the kindest, most trustworthy, and caring people I have ever met. As a dog owner herself, she understands that pets are family, and she treats every animal with the same love and attention she gives her own dogs, Willow and Maple. Gissell has a natural connection with animals and creates a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for them. She is responsible, dependable, and genuinely enjoys spending time with pets of all personalities and energy levels. Whether your dog needs playtime, exercise, companionship, or simply a caring presence while you’re away, you can have complete confidence that they will be in excellent hands. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pet as if it were her own, I wholeheartedly recommend Gissell. Any pet owner would be fortunate to have her looking after their furry family member.

Safety, trust & environment

I understand the concerns that come with leaving your fur baby in the care of someone you may not know. My goal is not only to provide your pup with quality care, but to ensure they are treated with the same love, attention, and compassion I would give my own. A few of the protocols I have in place when your pup boards with me include, but are not limited to: regular photo and video updates, testimonials and reviews from previous clients, and passing my Rover background. For your pet’s safety, I am always physically present when they are outside to help prevent any potential escapes or elopements. I also have cameras on the property to monitor the surroundings, and I keep the contact information and locations of nearby veterinarians and animal hospitals readily available in case of an emergency.

Pets

A typical day

I believe stimulation is key. Depending on your pups needs. I would play fetch, let them explore the yard, or offer mentally stimulating toys. As well as provide lots of cuddles, hugs, & positive reinforcement.

However, for the safety and well-being of all pets and people in the home, I cannot accept dogs with a history of severe aggression or biting. **Requirements** □ Pets must be flea-free.
