“My dog seemed to do well aside from not getting along well with another dog. He was well taken care of and I received updates throughout the day. Marissa gave me a detailed review of the day. I plan to use her again and would recommend her.”


About: I have 30 years of experience taking care of dogs of all breeds and all ages. I started out as a dog walker when I was a kid and would walk dogs for my neighbors and my passion for animals grew from there! Once I was old enough I volunteered at the local humane society and have continued providing care for pets ever since. I have quite a bit of experience working with reactive dogs, dogs with separation anxiety, and even aggressive dogs. I have experience with house breaking and basic obedience training. I work part time from home which gives me a lot of flexibility to do what I’m most passionate about which is taking care of animals! For dogs that stay in my home I have a fenced in back yard on a quarter acre. I absolutely love taking dogs for walks as well so they have an opportunity to take in the sights, and stop to sniff the trees. Dogs staying in my home have free range of the upstairs level of my home which is quite spacious. Plenty of space for zoomies on those bad weather days when we are cooped up inside!

About: As someone who grew up with animals in the house, i view cats and dogs as an extension of the family unit. In having grown up with and around both dogs and cats, I have an inside knowledge on what is required to ensure your fur baby feels safe, loved and cared for. I will make it my goal to ensure that my home is a safe haven where your animals see it as a "home away from home". I initially got into pet sitting after having my friends, neighbors, and co-workers, ask me to watch their pets for a few days so that they were able to go on vacation, have a date night, go away for a business trip etc, and from there I've found myself continuing to assist going on over two years. One thing that has compelled me to expand my services has been the cost-to-level-of-care ratio and the hassle that Boarding has had on my parents, co-workers, and friends. As someone who acknowledges the constraints and the need and desire of pet mom and dads when seeking out care for their fur babies, I invite you to book with me so that we can make sure that your pet can feel as if they are at a "home away from home". I work from home and am able to dedicate the time, energy, and care required to take care of animals with a spectrum of needs. Dedicated room for kennels and boarding, fenced-in back yard, safe neighborhood, ability to take extended stays due to a flexible schedule, bathing, walking, and potty training

About: I work full time during the week. Monday- Thursday visits must be before or after work ** I have owned dogs and cats all my life, ranging from puppies to seniors. Currently, I have a dog and a cat, and I know how hard it can be leaving them when you go on vacation. But I love going for walks myself and feel comfortable administering medications when necessary, so know that your furry friend is in good hands. I am typically very available but would like at least a day or two's notice about needing pet care. I can also help with puppy training such as sit, stay, lay down, kennel up, and even high fives. These are just some of the tricks my dog knows as well. I have had multiple dogs of different breeds (mutts, Doberman, Chesapeake Bay Retrievers, Weimaraner, Huskies, etc). I work full time during the week, but I still do morning and nightly visits after work ! I keep my availability up to date on the app as well. More than happy to do dog walks during visits, on weekends and most holidays. I treat your pets like they were mine. I love to have a care guide and meet and greet before the visits to help learn what your pets are used to so so can keep that as consistent as possible. I work full time Monday-Thursday and typically keep my schedule up to date regarding weekends. I would be available before and after work during those days with more flexibility on weekends. I care for my clients pets in their home just like they were mine. Let me know what your pets routine, likes/dislikes are so I can keep their routine as close to normal as possible so they feel more comfortable.

About: Since I can remember, my family has always had at least 1 dog in the house. Typically more! I am very familiar with everything that it takes to care for a dog of any age or size. I'm currently working very part time. And the rest of my time is spent with my 3 kids and my fur babies. I have plenty of time and would love to give my time to your fur baby. No matter what, your dog will be carefully watched over and cared for. I have plenty of eyes to help keep your dog safe and sound!

About: Been around dogs my whole life. Grew up with Goldens and currently have Niko, hes a Berner. Worked at a pet grooming and boarding place when younger so comfortable with the in's and out's. Comfortable with dogs of all ages as well. Have extra room in the house for any special requests or accommodations. Niko has his own room and kennel so if there ever is a need to separate the puppers Niko knows where to hang out. Work from home Dog Dad. Niko is my life and He would not mind hosting. If I travel I plan it in advance so usually im at home working and making art. Relaxed home atmosphere. Fenced in backyard with tons of space to run.
