Pet care experience

Your pet's home, away from home!

I have owned dogs ranging from 5-120 lbs throughout my life. We have fostered shy dogs, energetic dogs, and everything in-between. Just last year we fostered 17 dogs, some for up to 6 months! I am familiar with administering time sensitive medication, and I am perfectly confident with specific instructions for care. I have a dog wash set-up that we utilize for our own furry friends, and I would be happy to extend that to yours as well! I spend intentional, one on one time with every dog that stays here, and I make sure they have plenty of play time, couch time, and playful interaction with other dogs (if they're social!). Your fur baby will feel like they're on a mini vacation.

They were so accommodating and understanding with my ex-stray dog. He was anxious being away from us but they made sure not only he was well taken care of but also we were updated and reassured. Very reliable dog sitters.

I'm so grateful for Mariah. They were available with short notice and made it possible for me to keep an appointment. My dogs are always happy and well cared for when Mariah takes care of them.

Schedule

I work from home with a flexible schedule, and am able to give a ton of one on one time to each dog that is in my care. I love taking them on walks, too, so if that is something your pet needs, please let me know!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully brick walled back yard, and 1 dog of my own. He is fixed and gets along very well with the ladies, but he likes to be the only boy. If my services are requested for a male dog, I am able to keep them separated with 100% confidence. If your dog gets along with other dogs, they will absolutely be able to run around in our yard. I have experience with intact males and females as well as spayed/neutered ones, and can and will keep dogs separate if needed/wanted. We have a dog bath, brushes, blankets, toys, and balls, but please feel free to bring your own! While I do have cats, they are kept separate from the dogs, so there is no risk of them interacting. I do not offer drop-in services for dogs.
