Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog-loving family w/flexibility!
Expert dog-sitting family looking to love your dog like our own! My husband, Will, and I dogsat through Rover for several years before kids. We are now a family of four with flexible schedules who love hanging out with dogs. We're looking to meet our playtime needs by making some new doggy friends before we get a dog of our own. We both work from home, so your pup will have company during the day! We have a large yard, and being active and having fun is central to our lifestyle, so we would love to take your pooch for walks, hikes, and, of course, lots of cuddles and treats. Growing up with border collies, labs, pit bulls, and mutts--and dog sitting for many other breeds--we're well-versed in animal behavior, and look forward to making your best friend a friend of ours!

Ratings and reviews
Marian and her family were fantastic. I could tell our dog Honey was well loved. We got plenty of updates and we felt very comfortable leaving Honey with Marian. We will certainly ask Marian to watch Honey again in the future!
First time using this app and I couldn’t be any happier! Marian and her family gave Kobe so much love and attention I can tell he was in good hands. I really loved the communication on Marian’s end - daily updates and even photos showing their adventures throughout his stay. I was nervous at first because he isn’t around children often and wasn’t sure how he would react - but boy was I wrong! I loved all the moments she captured and by the end of day one I was more at ease that he settled in well… thank you Marian for taking such good care of my boy!💙💙
Marian and her entire family are truly wonderful hosts—we feel so lucky to have found them! Our 10-year-old Lab Retriever felt instantly at home, and it was clear from the start that he was in loving hands. Throughout his stay, Marian kept us updated with thoughtful messages, plenty of pictures, and sweet recaps of his activities, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It’s rare to find a family as genuinely caring and attentive as Marian’s—they went above and beyond to make sure our pup was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Marian was truly a godsend for us, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for the very best care for their dog.
Marian was so amazing! I got several detailed updates within the 24 hour period that we left our dog with her. She took our guy on multiple walks. And, her whole family loved on our dog while we were gone. Highly recommend!
Always nice to know Marian is coming to check in on my Chloe. She is always on time and always sends lots of adorable pictures!
Our favorite dog sitter! Lots of playtime for Chlöe and lots of pictures for me! Marian enforces my training and is great with checking in!

Schedule
I work from home with a flexible schedule, so am available regularly for dogsitting needs! We watch only one family at a time so you can feel confident that your pup will receive a lot of attention. From walks to the school bus stop and around the neighborhood, to playing fetch, and relaxing on the couch, we welcome your dog into every aspect of our life.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your pup will be able to roam freely throughout the house during the day while we work. We can set up a pet bed next to myself or Will if your dog likes to be close to people. We can also crate your fur baby if you prefer.
A typical day
We enjoy exploring our neighborhood and Naperville on foot. Fetch, tug, and hikes are also possibilities! (Not to mention lots of treats, cuddles, and walks!)
