Pet care experience

I ensure they receive the attention and provide expert supervision and ensure that every dog receives the highest level of and go beyond basic boarding by offering a variety of enrichment activities to keep your dog mentally and physically stimulated. From interactive toys and puzzles to group play sessions and nature walks, providing a range of activities to keep your dog happy and engaged. Clean and Safe Facilities: I follow strict cleanliness protocols to prevent the spread of illness and ensure a comfortable stay for every guest. Communication and Updates: I understand how important it is to stay connected with your pet while you're away… regular updates and photos so you can see how much fun your dog is having during their stay

We had a great experience with Marissa taking care of Maika, our 10year old dog, while we were traveling! She was very attentive with constant communication. Loved we left Maika in great hands and care! Thank you very very much Marissa!

Information Marissa H. would like to know about your pet

Health and Medical History: Ask about any medical conditions, allergies, or medications the pets may have. It's important to know if they have any specific dietary requirements or restrictions. Behavioral Traits: Understand the pets' temperament, behavior around other animals and people, any fears or anxieties they may have, and their level of obedience. Diet and Feeding Schedule: Learn about their regular diet, feeding schedule, portion sizes, and any specific dietary preferences or restrictions. Exercise Needs: Determine how much exercise the pets typically require and their preferred activities. Some pets may have high energy levels and need frequent walks or play sessions, while others may be more sedentary.

A typical day

Outdoor Adventures: Take the dogs for a walk in the park, hike on a nature trail, or visit a dog-friendly beach for some fun in the sun only if that’s ok with you otherwise they can stay in their own space. I don’t really “cuddle” with the pets and maintain boundaries. Playtime: Engage in games such as fetch, tug-of-war, or hide and seek to keep the pets active and entertained. Interactive Toys: Provide interactive toys such as puzzle feeders or treat-dispensing toys to stimulate the pets mentally and keep them Quiet Time
