Happy Tails While You’re Away

Need someone reliable to care for your dog while you’re at work, on vacation, or away from home? I’m here to help! I’ve been caring for dogs my entire life and have experience with dogs of all ages, from young puppies to senior dogs. As a dog owner and breeder, I have hands-on experience with potty training, crate training, basic obedience, administering routines, and understanding canine behavior. My primary focus is providing care in your dog’s own home where they are most comfortable. I offer drop-in visits, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, walks, medication reminders, and companionship while you’re away. Staying in their familiar environment helps reduce stress and keeps your dog’s daily routine consistent. During each visit, I’ll make sure your dog receives plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, and loving care. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a midday walk, or multiple daily visits, I can customize my services to fit your needs. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe and well cared for. As a dog owner myself, I understand that every dog is unique, and I treat every pet as if they were my own.

Maurissa was wonderful! She took great care of my babies over the course of a week, giving lots of updates and attention to them! Would absolutely love to have her take care of my babies again!

Please let me know about your dog’s daily routine, energy level, likes and dislikes, medical needs, and any special instructions. It’s also important to disclose any behavioral concerns, including anxiety, fearfulness, reactivity, or aggression toward people, dogs, or other animals. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience for both you and your pet. I look forward to meeting your furry family member! 🐾❤️
