Caring for Pets in My Dog’s Memory

After the heartbreaking loss of my own beloved dog Louie, I've found a renewed sense of purpose in caring for pets. I know firsthand the deep bond we share with our furry companions, and I’m committed to providing the same love and attention that I gave to my own. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or simply being there for comfort, I treat every pet as if they were my own, offering them a warm and caring environment in your temporary absence. I have been caring for animals from a very young age and truly give my all to make sure pets and their parents feel at ease while in my care.

I first met with Marissa for a meet and greet to introduce her to my 7-lb. Morkie named, Maggie. After meeting her, I felt like I could go on an international vacation and feel confident about leaving Maggie with her. I knew Maggie would be loved and well cared for. Marissa provided me with daily updates and photographs. She addressed all of my concerns thru regular text messages. I highly recommend her!

Safety, trust & environment

I take pride in providing a safe, loving environment for your pets, whether in my home or yours. When caring for pets in my home, I ensure a secure, pet-friendly space with plenty of room to play, rest, and feel at ease. I treat every pet like family, with constant supervision, gentle care, and lots of affection. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize trust and reliability. I maintain the same routines and environments your pet is accustomed to, reducing stress and promoting comfort. Safety is always my top priority—I follow any special instructions you provide and keep you updated throughout their stay. You can trust that your pet is in caring and capable hands, and your home is respected and well-maintained.

A typical day

I work from home and can provide full time attention and care. There will be lots of potty breaks, play time, and long walks! I love to make sure pets are not bored and have a lot of things to keep them entertained!

Please let me know if your pet has any medical issues, or needs special care so I can adjust to their routine. If your pet has behavioral issues or there are things that scare/ trigger them it’s best to let me know so I do not put your pet in any situation that makes them uncomfortable.
