We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog received! [Sitter’s Name] was incredibly attentive, reliable, and clearly loves animals. We felt completely at ease knowing our pup was in great hands. Communication was excellent—daily updates, photos, and little notes that made us smile. Even when our dog had a little accident on his bed, Mariah handled it with patience and care. It’s clear they went above and beyond. Highly recommend and would absolutely book again. Thank you for treating our dog like family!

Mariah did an absolutely wonderful job taking care of my 3 cats. She provided updates daily and sent pictures when cat made an appearance. I will definitely use Mariah next time my 3 cats need a babysitter.

Safety, trust & environment

For boarding: I accept up to two families at a time for new clients and return clients as I have openings. Regarding Boarding Scheduling: For pre-existing clients I accept same day booking up until 5pm. For new clients I do require a meet and greet prior but can do same day meet and greets if your dog has been around small animals before (ei birds, rodents, cats, etc). My cut off for accepting new client boarding is 3 pm. While the majority of my yard is not fenced in I do have a small section in the back of my home that is for supervised potty breaks. I can provide an large crate (roughly fits my "small" great pyrenees), and several smaller crates that the dogs can be put in when I am not home and at night (at the owners request). I will probably crate your dog when I am not home if your dog is an escape artist or flight risk because I live with my family and there is often someone going in and out the door.

Information Mariah D. would like to know about your pet

For any animals I am expected to feed I would like to know how much they get fed and where. And if your dog(s) have any potential aggression issues.

A typical day

For dogs that like going on walks when weather is good I do go to one of the local parks on the weekends. And frequently take all dogs in my care on frequent leashed walks through the day.

These prices are for one cat. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.

Availability

As of now I'm a full time sitter and usually at home with my boarding dogs unless I have other clients pets to check in on. For boarding and daycare dogs I usually give at least 3-4 walks a day and weather and time permitting I often like to take my boarders and daycare to the park to walk.
