“Marissa is amazing and took such wonderful care of our little Uchi! It was our first time having someone outside of our family and friends care for him and we could not have been happier. Lots of pictures and updates and overall an amazing, seamless experience!”
About: My husband Preston grew up a dog lover with his two yellow labs, and I am a new dog lover after we got our lovely boy Jet a couple of years ago. We are responsible and would love to take care of your fur baby like it’s our own! Preston grew up dog sitting for friends and family where as I have cared for many a friends dogs throughout the years! I am full time work from home with a flexible schedule. We typically bring our dog out i around 10 am and 6pm for about an hour each as well as 20 minutes around 2 and 10 pm but are available for more frequent walks as needed in addition to a backyard, balconies and toys and splash pad! We have 1 dog (2 year old ~60lb boy named Jet). We live near a park and him twice a day for long walks and frequent the greenbelt. We also have a nice backyard for the dogs to enjoy some fresh air! We have a two floor house if your dog needs to be crated or separated for meal/bed times happy to do that as well!

“Aine communicated frequently and sent lots of pictures, videos and updates. Their dog is very friendly too and their home has a nice big yard for the dogs to play.”
“Elijah is totally on top of it- starting with a meet and greet, so I felt completely comfortable leaving Harry with him. Harry loves Zee Zee and was so happy to see her when I dropped him off. I know he was well taken care of, and he was a very happy boy when we picked him up! We’ll definitely check with Elijah anytime we need someone for Harry.”
“Jeff and his wife took good care of Marley! He stayed with them for 3 nights and we received daily updates via msgs, pictures, and videos. He’s a little quirky and we appreciate them rolling with it :) Thank you for giving him a safe and loving “vacation.””

I felt confident my dog was in great hands the whole time. I couldn’t be happier with her service and will definitely trust her again in the future!”
“Luna seemed to have a great time and she came back very happy. Was very accommodating and easy to coordinate with. Also, sat on relatively short notice with Thanksgiving. Allowed me to check out his place with Luna to make sure she'd be fine there before I dropped her off too. Would definitely recommend.”
