Premium Care for Your Best Friend

I’ve spent over 30 years caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, personalities, and care needs. My experience includes everything from energetic large breeds that need structured exercise and stimulation to senior dogs that require patience, comfort, and extra attention. I’m comfortable caring for: • Senior dogs and aging pets • Dogs with health concerns or special care needs • Anxious, shy, or nervous dogs • High-energy and active dogs • Large breeds and strong pullers • Dogs with special diets, feeding routines, or medications I understand that every dog is different, and I focus on providing personalized care based on their personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your dog needs calm companionship, active play and exercise, medication reminders, or simply extra patience and reassurance, I strive to make them feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I also believe communication is important, so I provide regular updates, photos, and quick responses to help owners feel confident and connected while their pets are in my care. Creating a positive, safe, and stress-free experience for both pets and owners has always been my priority.

Safety, trust & environment

I understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your pet is a big decision. I take that responsibility seriously and always strive to provide dependable, respectful, and trustworthy care for both your pets and your home. Caring for dogs in their own familiar environment helps reduce stress and keeps their routines consistent, which is especially important for anxious dogs, senior pets, or dogs with specific care needs. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while maintaining the routines and instructions that owners provide. While in your home, I treat your space with professionalism, cleanliness, and respect. I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy and in good hands while you’re away. My goal is to create a calm, reliable experience that gives both pets and owners peace of mind.

Marcea was amazing with my two dogs (a border collie, and a lab-shepherd-boxer mix). One of my dogs is a rescue and has some quirks that Marcea handled without breaking stride, and I felt fully confident leaving them with her for a full day sit. The dogs very quickly loved her, and throughout the day she was very communicative (sending lots of lovely pictures) and accommodating of my schedule. I will 100% be asking her to dog sit for me and my dogs again! I would recommend her to anyone, especially those of us that have quirky dogs that need a bit of extra care!

Marcea was incredibly loving and patient with my strong and high energy Shepherd mix! She was so flexible with me as I had to make last minute changes which made my life so much easier. On top of it, she sent me a ton of picture updates of my girl which not only brought me comfort but also showed me that she was loving on my girl as if Marcea was loving on her own baby 💕 so thankful for Marcea and HIGHLY recommend!!

Marcea did a wonderful job watching our 11 month old Labrador Rottweiler mix puppy. He is over 100 pounds and has a lot of energy! He really liked her right away and very much enjoyed her company. She handled his teenage difficulties very well and had great communication. We’ll definitely book Marcea again!

Our 2-Year-old retriever found his new bestie!!! Marcea was amazing from our first meet and greet to Rip's walk and ball throwing adventures. Could not have asked for a sweeter, more caring Rover! Thank you so much Marcea. Rip already misses you...

Schedule

I currently offer full-time availability 7 days a week for walks, drop-ins, pet sitting, boarding, and daycare services. My flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent care, frequent potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Because I’m available full-time, I’m able to accommodate a variety of schedules, including early mornings, evenings, weekends, and many last-minute requests when available. This also allows me to give pets more supervision, companionship, and personalized care rather than leaving them alone for extended periods. I understand how important reliability and communication are, and I strive to provide dependable care and quick responses for every booking request.
