Boarding • Jun 21, 2026

I am so glad to have found Marissa. My dog Aero just had his first stay with her and we were both very pleased with how it went. She took very good care of him in addition to playing and doing extra agility work with him. Aero got along really well with her sweet dog Pip and all in all it was a very positive experience. It is easy to see that Marissa is caring and compassionate and she brings those qualities to her work with pets.

Marissa is so warm and wonderful! Jackson had a great walk and a nice nap when he got home. The timing was perfect, too! They got home right before it started to rain!!!

Doggy Day Care • Jun 01, 2026

Absolutely the best experience we could've asked for! I was unintentionally late and she was very understanding. Sent photos through out the day and made shiro feel at home. I would most certainly recommend to everyone.

We want to take the time to express our gratitude to Ms. Marissa S. She took excellent care of our girl Oli while we were away. She treated Oli as if one of the family. We received regular updates and pictures giving us a peace of mind. We will definitely be reaching out to her anytime we need help with our dog. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to others.

Marissa was so FANTASTIC with my Tinker Belle. Marissa sent photos daily and really took care of her. Marissa fed her at the correct times and was very communicative the entire process. I know she was in good hands and took care of my fur baby. Will definitely be using her again.

Your pet will feel at home in their own clean & calming room set up in our spare bedroom. They can also relax in the living room on the cozy couches we have made up for pets. They will receive daily brushing with massages to help promote relaxation & release tension. Fenced & grassy backyard for immediate outdoor access! Agility course available for daily mobility training & rainy weather. Available during the week for evening walks, check ins, & doggy daycare. Boarding and all other services are available over the weekends, sometimes throughout the week. Day & evening time walks given daily and as needed. Easily adaptable to your pets schedule, behavioral, & potty training needs. I do work part time during the week, hours change weekly for the summer. My boyfriend also is home during hours I’m working so our pup is never alone long.
