Pet care experience

Family is a Work of Heart

My husband and I live with our 7 and 4 yr old girls in a sidewalk lined Westborough neighborhood. In your reservation, please mention any behavioral patterns or phobias. (Does your dog take a while to do business outside? Does he or she squat several times? How long can he or she go without potty breaks? Do we have a runner?) Bring your pup, I'll bring the love and care! P.S. Please bring a crate for your dog if in the past, your dog has gotten into things and chewed. Many dog owners find themselves surprised that their dogs may exhibit destructive behavior at a sitter's house that they do not exhibit at home, like chewing and tearing things up. Your dog, in this case, will only be crated while we are out of the house.

We couldn't be more pleased with the care Mariann gave to our 11 year old Shih Tzu Rosie. Changing doggy caregivers after 11 years was stressful but Mariann and her family exceeded expectations. She gave us daily updates. I think Rosie truly enjoyed being part of their family during her stay. We couldn't have asked for a better experience for Rosie!

We loved so much, that Oreo will be visiting Mariann next time on. We have finally found the Right home for Oreo to board. Mariann, personally took care of him and bought things for Oreo that I could not provide during drop off. Excellent in communication, photos, and Oreo is relaxed when he was back home. Thankyou Mariann, kids are super happy.

Mariann provided excellent care for my dog Remy when we were away for a week. She made sure to understand his behaviors and needs to ensure his needs were met and he had a wonderful stay with her and the family… Her communication and professionalism coupled with updates and pictures made this a high quality boarding experience and I would highly recommend Mariann for pet care.

Schedule

My husband works full-time, while I am home intermittently. But your baby will get lots of attention. During the weekdays, the house sits empty anywhere 3-5hrs. Your pet must be OK with that. I grew up with dogs: Scottish Terrier, Jack Russell Terrier, Rottweiler, Dachshunds, Chinese Crested, and Silky Terriers are the dogs my family members have owned and loved in my lifetime.

Safety, trust & environment

I have no dogs of my own (anymore), but two little girls who just love and crave a dog in the house. If your dog is a no-no on little kids, this will not be a good fit for you.
