Pet care experience

Love to walk, cuddle, and pamper

I've had animals all my life. As of last year, we are now pet-free and I'm really missing their company. I would be honored to love on your pet while you can't be there. I will take them on daily walks and follow your instructions to a T. I will reinforce any training you've done, and maybe teach a new trick or two!

Excellent experience! Sitter sent me a lot of pictures, video and updates about my happy dog. Could tell she was having a great time and in amazing hands and care. Will definitely rebook!

Maellen was fantastic with Sam. Very caring and fun. He had a great time staying with her family. I would definitely rebook her in the future.

Maellen is an angel! She has taken care of my older girl amazing. We literally don’t have to worry about anything when she’s there. She went above and beyond for our pet to feel safe and calm when leaving her. I also love how she sends updates, videos and pictures. Again I’m very thankful for her!!! 10/10 would recommend Maellen 1000%. Our new forever pet sitter :)

Maellen took such sweet and gentle care of our senior lady. Pup had just had abdominal surgery and we were so nervous to leave her. Maellen was wonderful with the extra after surgery care and extra needs that go along with the extra encouragement needed for an older dog to do anything. Will definitely book again. Just can’t say enough about how fantastic the care was.

Maellen and Monty helped us out a LOT. They were accommodating and responsive not only once, but TWICE. Ran into a scenario where Bo got grumpy with one of our visiting family and had to immediately be separated. A few days later, a planned family event went awry and that led to a fury of changed plans for the next two days ... and this M&M team stood by while we tried to figure out what do to with Sissy. They really took care of our beagles and made them feel right at home.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a fenced yard, a large, medium, and small crate, plus a nice doghouse outside with dog beds in it. We really prefer crate-trained dogs for boarding. Please, THEY MUST GET ALONG WITH OTHER DOGS for your dog’s sake as well as my other furry guests.

A typical day

A typical day would include fun games in the back yard, a walk or two in the neighborhood to explore all the sights and sounds, and some cuddle time. If you allow it, they will have a treat- time, while practicing their manners and tricks.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or issues I need to know about. My grandchildren (ten and under) come over to my house frequently, so the dogs I watch NEED TO BE CHILD-FRIENDLY as well as they need to GET ALONG WITH OTHER DOGS, and preferably CRATE TRAINED. I try to take only two at a time unless they’re from the same household (with the occasional overlap of more), so your pup will definitely get special and individual attention. They become a part of our family for the time they are with us!
