Individual care, lots of attention

Pet care experience

I have owned five dogs in my life and feel very comfortable meeting the needs of different personalities of dogs. What is unique about our situation as we have a very chill golden doodle, who other dogs love to be around because of his mellow personality. Especially little dogs that are intimidated by big dogs really seem to enjoy his personality and grow into more confident and relaxed dogs themselves after spending time with him.

Maren was very welcoming and communicative. Gave daily updates on how my dog was doing turning his stay with her and her family. She treated him like her own and made the first time using Rover a really good experience. Would definitely rebook again.

Maren has been our favorite dog sitters for the last three years. I feel good leaving my dog with her knowing that she’ll get lots of attention, snuggles, and exercise. My dog has a great relationship with Maren’s golden doodle and truly loves Maren & her family. She gets so excited every time she sees them.

What an amazing experience! Of course, we had many options. We could have boarded our dog or had someone come spend a little time everyday with her at our home, but we felt idea of having our dog stay with Maren's family a much better choice. We were not disappointed! They have a great enclosed outdoor space. Maren's dog Patch was very friendly and both animals got along great. We could tell that our dog had such a great stay for she refused to leave with us when we came to retrieve her! We cannot wait to use Maren's service again for our next vacation! It will truly be a vacation since we will no longer have any worries regarding our dog while we are away. We highly recommend Maren and her team of children!

I have a fenced yard, that is close to a third of an acre. I have a golden doodle to keep your dog company as well as myself who works from home and my three children who are home most of the day homeschooling. We do not live near a busy street. In fact, our street has a dead end sign so hardly anyone drives down it.

Information Maren B. would like to know about your pet

I PRESCREEN ALL DOGS BEFORE I BOARD. My stylist is to build up a clientele who trust me, and who I know their dogs well! I do not do aggressive breeds, which include Rottweilers, German, shepherds, pitbulls, chows, or Dobermans. Sorry, but my house insurance does not cover these breeds.

A typical day

We are home usually until 10 in the morning so it’s easy for me to get the dogs outside first thing in the morning for a walk or exploring the neighborhood. We come and go throughout the day and set the dogs will have time of rest and relaxation when I usually leave them outside in the fence area if the weather is nice or inside if it’s cold or too hot. We are home more than we are gone on a typical day. With 5 people in the house, usually someone is around to be with your pup!

I am a stay-at-home homeschooling mom, so there will nearly always be someone around to pet and interact with your dog. My three children are older, so they are gentle and playful with dogs and have had a dog themselves for 5 years. I live in an oak studded part of town that does not have busy streets so the dogs can get lots of walking and be safe. We live close enough to the high school where in the afternoons we can take your dog down and let them run in the empty baseball field and get good exercise.
