Home away from home experience!

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Marissa, and I am a lover of all dogs. I have been a dog owner for over 13 years. I have a Yorkie mix named Riley and Rottweiler named Remi. Both of my animals are fixed and up to date on shots. I have experience dealing with puppies as I have bred Mastiff's in the past. I adore small dogs and big dogs, and have owned both. I consider my dogs my children, and know first hand how hard it is to trust someone with your pets. I wanted to begin this business because I had a terrible experience boarding our dogs in a traditional kennel. It was then I decided I wanted to help prevent other dog owners from going through that experience. I don't want anyone to have to be worried about leaving their pet while they are away. I hope that by opening my home I can allow you to feel 100% at ease leaving your animal in my care. While your family member is in my care they get to enjoy endless playtime, around the clock interaction, bedtime snuggles, and unlimited potty breaks. I live on almost 2 acres and have a large unfenced yard for your dog/s to roam supervised. We live close to a trail which would allow me to take your dog/s for walks there, or we are a 15 minute drive to numerous parks. I work Monday through Friday 9:30 a.m. until 5 p.m., so at the moment am only offering dog boarding on Friday evening-Sunday evening. I can provide drop ins anytime and provide photo updates of your animals per day and/or visit: ** PLEASE BE COURTEOUS ABOUT DROP OFF AND PICKUP TIMES. A FEE OF $16 OR $20 ON HOLIDAYS WILL BE CHARGED TO YOU IF YOU ARE MORE THAN 30 MINUTES LATE FOR PICK UP WITHOUT PRIOR COMMUNICATION. BY BOOKING WITH ME YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS.** ***Pickup times are from 7 a.m. until 5 p.m. anytime after that there will be a half day charge of $16 or $20 on holidays or holiday weekends.*** ** All dogs must get along well with other dogs and children. There will be no exceptions to this.** ***If dog is known to have any “accidents” indoors, so that I can make accommodations. If this is NOT disclosed and we have a continuous problem (more than once) you will be charged an additional fee of $15. This is non negotiable as I have children who roam the floors, and this requires additional time to shampoo carpets***

We were nervous to leave our 6m Doberman puppy for the first time but Marissa made it easy. He hopped right in her car and away they went. She returned him right on time the next day. If we are ever in the area again, we would definitely use her again!

Marissa was fantastic with Gloria. I am so happy that she could do this for me and her. She was well taken care of, happy, and worn out because of all the fun she had. Highly recommended.
