Marbiluz was excellent with my 4 month old puppy - she sent along a number of updates and photos for our short boarding stay and made it very easy for us to make sure she had a good time! Well asking Marbiluz again in the future to take care of Gala!

We feel so blessed to have found Marbiluz and Alex to leave our girl Ella with. Ella loves them so much and now runs to their door when we bring her over. We were able to go away on holiday with no worries that Ella would be loved and cared for. Also, Ella comes home better behaved then when we left her lol. A lovely couple who are serious dog lovers and I recommend them highly to care for your pup. Thank you again!

Marbi is awesome! We are repeat customers and our rescue dog Mina loves her. We have done evening dog sitting as well as a long stay and I wouldn't hesitate to use Marbi for dog sitting again in the future. We always get lots of photos, Mina eats well, gets lots of walks and came back healthy and happy. I highly recommend.

Our Ella was so excited to be back at Marbiluz's and Alex's house. She happily ran up to the door and into Marbiluz's arms. The pictures showed that she had a wonderful time and we were able to go away knowing that she was safe and loved while we are gone. Thank you again for being so wonderful with Ella. See you next time.

Schedule

Dog sitting is my full-time job, so I'm home most of the day giving dogs the love, attention, and care they deserve. Since my handmade jewelry business is home-based, I have a flexible schedule and can provide frequent potty breaks, playtime, walks, and cuddles.

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I am Pet First Aid Certified and carefully monitor each dog's behavior, appetite, and overall well-being. Dogs are always walked on leash, receive personalized care based on their routine, and are introduced carefully to ensure a safe and stress-free environment. You'll also receive daily photo and or video updates for peace of mind.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day includes morning potty breaks, walks in our pet-friendly neighborhood near the Fraser River, playtime, enrichment activities, rest, cuddles, and plenty of love. I care for only a small number of dogs at a time, allowing me to give each dog the attention they deserve. Every day is adapted to your dog's personality and energy level.

Before your dog's stay, I'd love to learn about their personality, daily routine, favorite activities, feeding schedule, medical needs, and any fears or special requirements. My goal is to make them feel as comfortable and happy as possible while you're away.
