Pet care experience

Hi there! I'm Mariah, and I would love to give your pup a fun, comfy place to spend their day while you're away. I currently offer doggy day care, drop in visits, and boarding. If all goes well, I look forward to offering house sitting and walking (when the weather is warmer). I understand every dog is different, and I'd love to talk to you about yours so I can give them a day tailored to their needs. Originally, I wanted to start Rover in 2019, but the pandemic, a new puppy, and buying my first house really put that on hold. It's never too late to start again, though!

This was our dog’s 2nd time staying with Mariah & same as the 1st it went amazingly. Mariah is super responsive, our pup was clearly well taken care of & you can tell she really cares about the pets she watches. We will definitely be back again!

Lucy has stayed with Mariah twice, and both times has had a great time playing with Cerby, cuddling, and eating treats. We got daily updates and pictures and videos of Lucy. I will definitely book with Mariah again!

Mariah and Johnathon are so wonderful and they take such great care of any animal in their hands! Porter had so much fun playing with Cerby, who's the gentlest giant of them all!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced yard with two trees, a small hill for those private poopers, and loads of room for zoomies. With a security camera covering the whole backyard, I can comfortably keep watch over my pup and guests no matter what the weather and send screenshots or videos of their antics when they think they're not being watched. Inside, I can set up a spacious dog pen, wall off portions of the house with dog gates, or offer a crate should any pups require space for a nap, or time out. Additionally, I will clear all treats and toys with you, because I want to spoil your pup in a safe, healthy, owner approved manner!

Information Mariah W. would like to know about your pet

I have no breed preferences, I've never met a dog I didn't like! I would, however, like to know if your dog is reactive to other people, dogs, or anything else (cars, loud noises, children) that we might run into on a walk? What brings them back if they slip their leash or otherwise escape? What commands do they know? What is their behavior on a typical walk, at the dog park, or with other dogs like? Anything I should watch out for (odd behaviors, medical injuries, etc)? I want to respect your methods of training, what are the rules in your house you'd like me to follow while your pup is at ours? Additionally, I ask that your dog is fully vaccinated and free from any contagious diseases for the safety of everyone.

A typical day

We're early birds! My M-F's start as early as 6a, with breakfast and a trip to the dog park. I live close to Victory Prairie Off-Leash Dog Park, and love walking laps there with my pup and all of his friends (even in the winter, brr!). After a good park session, we head home so he can catch a nap until lunch time, then it's puzzles, tricks and training to earn lunch (or an afternoon snack!). Late afternoon, depending on his energy level it's time for a walk, other days we cuddle up or do some grooming. No matter what, every day is full of little moments of fun at our house and we love cheesing for the camera!

I work from home full time M-F with my husband and our 1yo Bernese Mountain Dog puppy. My work is flexible, with minimal required meetings/focus time so I'm able to let the pups out any time they signal they need to go, or on a schedule if needs be.
