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!

My dogs had another great weekend with Marisa and James. Got updates every day and they’ve now been with them 3x in the last 2 months and will continue to use them.

Marisa and James went above and beyond to take care of my pup. She came back healthy and happy and we loved getting all the photos of her during vacay! 😊 10/10 recommend. Bonus - their pups are super sweet too.

Got daily updates from Marisa and James as this was the second time I’ve used them and will continue to do so. My dogs seem to love staying with them.

Highly recommended! They watched my dog for a week and created such a calm, stress-free environment. It was clear my dog was in great hands. Communication was great, though getting a couple more daily photo updates would make it perfect. Overall, an amazing experience and I'll definitely be booking with them again!

Schedule

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!
