If your pet has any disabilities (mine is blind!) or any dietary restrictions, any dislikes or things that spook them, any places not to pet or take them.

Whatever the furry friend desires! I lovvvvvvve walking and hiking but up to everything in between- running, giving belly rubs, going to dog parks or just hanging out at home.

Loving & Experienced Dog Boarding

Pet care experience

Proud dog mom to a blind Springer Spaniel who is also a certified therapy dog. I work from home most days with a flexible schedule and have a great home environment for dog boarding. I have a senior Springer Spaniel who is incredibly kind and gentle and gets along well with other dogs. My fiancé also works from home and has a friendly mixed-breed dog who loves to play. You can see photos of both of our dogs, along with some of the dogs we have hosted, in my profile. I am comfortable administering medications since my dog requires them three times a day. Your dog will receive plenty of walks, attention, and care throughout the day. I typically take my dog on at least three 20-minute walks during the workday. A few times a week we also visit a nearby park with a large enclosed field where the dogs can safely run and play. I am flexible with pick-up and drop-off times and will provide plenty of updates and photos during your dog’s stay so you can feel confident they are happy and well cared for. I am happy to run, play fetch, or do whatever activities your dog enjoys most. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and am comfortable administering medications, injections, and accommodating dogs with special needs. Things to note: Benny (my dog) and my fiancés dog will always be at my house. We accept 2 dogs max in addition to our 2 dogs, so there is a chance your dog will be with another dog during the stay. Would love to meet all the doggies, but due to my limited ability to host multiple dogs and high demand, meet and greets are for confirmed bookings only.

Mari did an excellent job caring for our puppy, Trixie. She is incredibly caring and sweet, and it was clear from the start that Trixie was in great hands. What really stood out was her flexibility—she was able to take Trixie with less than 24 hours’ notice for a weekend, which was a huge lifesaver for us. She also kept us updated frequently, which gave us so much peace of mind. Overall, it was a 5/5 experience, and we would absolutely trust her with our dog again.

Mari is a great host. The pictures she sent showed Scout having a great time, feeling at home.
