Pet care experience
Finding someone that you can absolutely trust with your fur-baby while you leave is definitely a hard decision to make and that is something I've struggled with myself. I've grown up with dogs my entire life, ranging from the most energetic puppies, to senior pups with medical conditions. I worked as a Kennel Technician for a large Kennel Facility, back in my hometown for three years and that's where I discovered my passion for canines. A dog is (wo)man's best friend, so they deserve nothing short of love and affection. If you are looking for someone who can tend to all your dogs needs with copious amounts of love and attention, look no further! This experience caters to the preference and concerns of you, the owner and your furry best friend(s)...So if you have any special accommodations please do not hesitate to let me know! After joining the Navy, I spent two years certifying one of my pups as a service dog, and although we sadly had to retire her due to a medical condition she is still my best friend. For that reason, my specialty is with drop-in visits, I am very experienced with dog body language and non-verbal communication, ensuring even the most anxious dog is as comfortable as possible when I check on them.

Was very worried about leaving my dog since I’ve had a bad experience with the last time she was borded. But once I meet Mariah and her family it put me to ease a lil bit more. But I tell u when she sent me the 1st picture I knew she was the right choice. My dog looked almost more at home with her and her family than she does at home if that’s even possible. lol I will definitely be a repeat customer.
Pretzel always enjoys himself with Mariah. She takes care of him and treats him as her own. She sends updates and pics frequently. Definitely will return.
Mariah was great with my dog. She communicated often during the three days I boarded my pet. He was well taken care of and I would certainly book with Mariah again.
Constant communication, easy going and very easy to work with! Took care of both my dog and cat and showered them with lots of love throughout their tenure there! Would highly recommend!!!

Availability
I am currently a stay at home parent with full time availability for your pups needs while they stay with me! My own two pups are always looking for new friends to play with but I also have experience with dogs that are not as social or need their own peace and space from the pack.
