Once again Mara has far exceeded my expectations and spoiled my pup! She provided my pup with plenty of playtime, cuddles, walks, enrichment, and potty breaks. Mara sent many pictures and updates throughout each day. ❤️🐶🐾

Calendar and availability

Schedule

Some FAQ: -Do you have a yard?: Yes! I have a high chain link fully fenced in yard. I also have a pool for dogs who like to swim. Note: Dogs are NEVER left unsupervised in the yard. -Where will my dog sleep? They can sleep wherever they are comfortable: my bed, their bed, couch, etc. -Can my dog go on your furniture? Yes! If this is not allowed at your home and you would like me to reinforce that’s okay too!

Safety, trust & environment

-Will you walk my dog? Yes absolutely! -What if you have to leave? I rarely leave if I am watching a dog. If I must leave- I have a fully armed security system both in and outside of my home to keep an eye on the dogs! My husband also works from home so it is rare that we both are gone for more than a short errand. I can also separate dogs upon request. -What about meals? I separate all dogs during meal time so they can enjoy their food in peace. I have plenty of bowls, just bring the food. -Will my dog get a bath? Yes! I provide free baths upon request. No one wants to bring home a stinky dog! -Is this your full time job? Nope, I just love animals and my dog loves to have playmates! -What is your experience? I have experience with dogs, cats, and critters of all sizes. I volunteered at a local humane society and also a private dog rescue. I have also personally owned: dogs, cats, rats, mice, fish, and birds!
