Romeo has never stayed with anyone other than family. I was very nervous about leaving him with someone when we moved. Mariana made it easy to do that. He walked right in and never looked back. She calmed my nerves by sending lots of pictures while I was gone.

Mariana is always a joy to work with and an easy choice when we need to leave Sophie in somebody else’s hands!

I couldn’t recommend Mariana more! I needed someone to watch my dog for a long weekend with only about a week’s notice, and she was amazing from start to finish. She offered to do a meet-and-greet beforehand since she has other animals, which I really appreciated. She took the time to learn my dog’s routine and made sure it was a good fit for everyone. Throughout the stay, she sent lots of pictures and updates, answered every question I had, and was an incredible communicator. It’s obvious she and her family genuinely love dogs. My pup came home happy and completely exhausted from all the playing. I’ll definitely be booking with Mariana again and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like family.

Safety, trust & environment

I have fence yard and a lot of toys to play. I have kennels, plates and beds. Please let me know beforehand if your furry friends don’t do well with children or other dogs. We might not be the best fit for you. I usually respond in minutes. Very important to let me know your pup schedule for feeding, medication if needed or allergies, etc. I’m a very organized person. I have 24/7 cameras in and outdoors from my house.

Pets

A typical day

During the morning I make sure all the dogs eat their breakfast (I feed them separately to avoid food fights or allergies) before I start working I take time with them to play around, during morning I offer multiple potty breaks. We like to play puzzles with them around noon, and sometimes if the weather is nice small walks around my neighborhood. Offer them dinner around 6-6:30 pm, and offer last potty around 9:30 - 10:00 pm before we sleep. They are all the time allowed on the couch, beds anywhere where me and my family are. We really make sure all the pups feels like they are at their home.
