Bippy's Small but Cozy Dogville

Pet care experience

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.

I've lost count of how many times my pup has stayed with Marsha! She sends many pictures and he's always playing or cuddling with her. He comes home happy and tired.

Everything was OK with Marsha. I received photos of our dog most days, but not every day, and we didn't get any proactive written updates about how he was doing, even though it was his first time staying with her. She didn't answer some questions, even when asked directly. I feel like he was treated well, but

Marsha is the BEST! We had our 2 senior dogs stay with her a few times now & they’re always so eager to run towards her regardless of how long it’s been since they last saw her. Marsha has great communication skills and will cater to our dogs’ needs, highly recommend

We loved leaving our Lola with Marsha! She always answered quickly to any messages/questions I had about my Lola while we were gone for the weekend. Marsha sent plenty of pictures and videos during my Lola’s stay with her. We loved that Marsha had a very playful dog as well since my Lola loves to play and is very energetic (Lola will definitely miss Brownie). I 100% recommend her and would use her again to board my pup!

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.
