Pet care experience
I have been caring for animals my entire life. I've been dog-sitting and walking on and off the past decade. I treat each animal individually and love them like I would a niece or nephew-- dogs and cats make me melt. I'm understanding of both puppies' needs and older dogs' needs-- I'm attentive to both dogs who need significant physical exercise and those who may need to turn back home earlier than planned. I'm happy to run or hike with dogs if needed, and I love fetch! I also have experience with anxious and high maintenance dogs. I have an adorable 1-year-old cat and have experience caring for cats of all ages. I am also good with any and nervous cats. I am an instructor of writing, which provides me with a flexible schedule during the week and open schedule on weekends.
Reviews
Great communication before, after and during the stay. Came back to a clean, tidy house and a happy dog. Would definitely recommend and use Maren again!
Maren has watched our dog and cat several times and she's great! She loves animals and is very playful and loving with our pets. She takes our dog for walks/hikes and spends time cuddling with both our pets. We always know they're in good hands when she's watching them.
Maren is my daughter and spent her childhood growing up in a house full of pets. She is loving, playful, attentive and responsible toward all pets, especially with my dog Miles when she visits me!
Maren has watched my dog Elsie many times over the past few years. She is responsible and has a true love of dogs, plus she is active and takes Elsie on lots of walks and hikes. Elsie loves seeing Maren which makes me feel great about leaving her for an extended amount of time. Can't think of anyone better!

Information Maren S. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know a dog's behavior with humans and dogs, and whether I need to be attentive to any aggression issues. I have no breed preferences!
A typical day
I enjoy Pattee Canyon, Rattlesnake Canyon, and Greenbough Park as nearby hikes. I also go on frequent walks around the University district. I love playing with dogs in fenced-in yards.
