Bippy's Small but Cozy Dogville

In Loving Memory of my precious fur baby girl, Bippy Sapphire. She gained angel wings on March 16, 2022 after 8 months battling with bladder cancer (TCC) Rest in Peace, until we meet again. Missing you so so much & love you always & forever. ____________________________________________________________________________. My place is small but dog-cozy...even if you ask my dog Bippy, she'd agree with me! I take her out to walk & she enjoys playing fetch. The small space doesn't stop us from having fun with our pup. Any dog that comes into our "Small but Cozy Dogville" will be treated like we treat Bippy. Anyway... Hello, this is Marsha & I've had dogs whole my life, I can't live without them!! Even, I tried for 2 years, I couldn't so I adopted Bippy, a schoodle for my son's 8th birthday and she's been with us for 13 years!! Then I have been dog sitting for my friends for a while and it was fun...I really enjoyed dog sitting then I realize, why not continue doing that! So I signed up with DogVacay to help people who adore their pup as much as I do for my Bippy to find a cozy place to stay while we are away from our home. & to feel at peace. You only need to provide your pup's meal (including a bowl), options for you to provide bedding/blankie, toys & treats. I provide a bowl of fresh water that is accessible all day & night long. & from my experience, when I tried to find a dog sitter for Bippy, it was a challenge because I do care for her to be well taken care of by someone else. So I feel you!! :) I feel the DogVacay concept is amazing & I feel comfortable doing business with them so I thought I'd work with this company, too!! And I remembered a few years ago when I planned a trip to Orlando for NYE, spent so much money for that vacation to DisneyWorld, & then to my dismay, the fees here on Dogvacay had gone up during the holidays. That's why I believe to keep my rate flat all year round so you can enjoy your vacation more when I can provide a cozy Dogville for your pup!!! Even better, I'm a classroom teacher so when school's not in session, I'm home full time. Then your pup will be very lucky!! Welcome to our small but cozy Dogville!! Bippy, my son Luke & I look forward to meeting you & your dear pup. *********Drop off and pick up times: 7 am to 9 pm. Concerning my family's resting hours so there is no early or late drop off and pick up...but I can do an exception, depending so communicate with me and we can make a special arrangement*********** Most of the time, I donate to Muttsville Senior Dogs (in San Francisco) & Be Like Josh Foundation (dogs with cerebellar hypoplasia) They have their Facebook page. Woofily thanks! Marsha, Luke & Bippy PS - Yes, Dogvacy had merged with Rover.

Always confident to have my pup at Marsha's place while I'm gone. He's been more times than I can count and he always comes home a tired and happy dog!!

Marsha took great care of Blu! She sent regular updates and photos so we always knew how he was doing, and it was clear Blu felt comfortable and relaxed with her. We’d definitely book her again

Marsha was an absolute lifesaver! She accommodated Blu on incredibly short notice, and from the moment I dropped him off, I knew he was in great hands. As a first-time client, I was a little nervous, but Marsha's communication was prompt, warm, and reassuring throughout the entire stay. The drop-off process was seamless, and I left feeling completely at ease. Blu and I are already looking forward to our next booking — highly recommend Marsha to any pet parent looking for someone they can truly trust!

Schedule

I'm a classroom teacher but I’m not that far away! I have a senior dog named Bippy, a Schnoodle so my home is pretty much dog-proof. UPDATE: My precious baby girl Bippy has gained her wings on March 16, 2022 after battling bladder cancer. I've got a new toy Schnoodle, her name is Brownie.
