Professional Animal Friend

Previous groomer with over 7 years of professional experience with dogs and cats. Will happily love and care for any type of animal friend. Pets I board must be good with kids but drop in pets are ok either way. My best friend Gus crossed the rainbow bridge in December 2025 and while I’m not ready to find another friend yet, I’m ready to help people to ensure their besties are happy and healthy. Outside of boarding and walking, I can do nail trims, ear cleaning, teeth brushing, hair brushing and administer medicine if needed.

Bennett absolutely loved staying with Maelyn! She sent lots of updates and took him for many walks. Bennett seemed very happy and well exercised!

Maelyn was responsive and our pup loved staying over at her place for a few days. She sent pictures and updates as needed. We would definitely book with Maelyn again!

Maelyn is such a reliable, thoughtful, communicative helper. We have a 93 lb senior dog who will be heading to heaven someday soon, and we needed more help with his hospice phase. Maelyn has given him such incredible loving care. We are so grateful that Happy has a new friend, and we have the support we needed. Thank you so much, Maelyn.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced yard and a doggy door. I live in a very walkable neighborhood with lots of options for walking routes. I keep my home tidy so that pets won’t get into anything they shouldn’t.

A typical day

Pets can get great mental stimulation and exercise from a long walk or just playing with toys. I also like to go for hikes and go to the beach. Fetch and tug of war are my go to games with dogs.

0 to 15 lbs

Please me know if your pet has any special needs or medication or history of specific behavior that I can be ready for. Please let me know if your dog is good with kids. I can prepare on my own before we meet to accommodate you and ensure your pet is comfortable.
