Pet care experience

WHO LET THE DOGS OUT/IN? IT WAS ME!

My family has worked with rescue groups since I was little, so taking care of dogs and cats is second-nature to me! Neighbors and friends have relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their pets for years and I have two of my own dogs that are my fur-babies and get only the best love and attention. I will treat your pets as I would treat my own!

Another great stay. My dogs love staying with Marisa and James and always feel comfortable there. We’ll be back in a couple weeks!

Marisa and James were wonderful! They were both so kind, responsive, and communicative throughout Wendy’s stay. Wendy had such a great time with them, and it was clear she was happy and well cared for. I really appreciated knowing she was in good hands and would absolutely recommend them!

Marisa was really good with coco we were worried about the first night since it was first time but Marisa made her comfortable and everything went great. And was wonderful with updates on her along with pics and everything highly recommend her and her husband. Our baby came home happy we will definitely use them again when needed

Marisa & James were so pleasant to help with keeping our dog while we were on vacation. They provided pictures and updates with how our dog was doing. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for excellent cargivers for their pet.

Had an emergency and needed someone to look over my dogs. Marisa was able to quickly take care of my puppies. Will definitely consider booking again.

Marissa and James are AMAZING! We did a meet and greet and learned of their extensive experience with dogs. Marissa is the main care giver but James is definitely supportive and involved as well. Marissa immediately tuned into our dog’s personalities and that continued throughout their stay in their home. I didn’t have any concerns about my dogs and she kept me updated with what my pups were doing and pics. Very pleased with them and would highly recommend them.

I am home full-time and my husband works from home, so there will always be someone here with the dogs. I'm available for boarding on weekends and weekdays as needed. I can check on your pets at your house and take them on regular walks.

Your pet will get all the pets and love and snuggles they want. There is plenty of room for them to stretch their legs or get cozy. We can go on long walks to the lakeside and sniff all the things!
