Pet care experience

Pampered pets, peace of mind

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.

Boarding • Jul 15, 2026

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!

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.

Well definitely be booking again! They were very kind and accommodating to Max. Sent constant updates. Responded in a timely manner and definitely treated Max as their own.

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

Your pets safety and quality of care is very important to me. Just to describe some of the perks of boarding with me. I have a large yard thats fenced in. A spare bedroom that theyll sleep in/ or be crated in. Very spacious home they can roam freely. Theyre allowed on furniture. Can socialize with my two loving sweet dogs that are trained. Including a safe neighborhood for walks. If pet parent is not comfortable with their pup being around my pets. Ill ensure they remain seperated, as i have the ability to do so with dog gates in the home, if need be. I also have cameras to always keep an eye out (although physically id be present).

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.
