Loving, Trustworthy And Dependable.

Dear per parents, I was involved in a hit & run accident, I am okay but having some issues, I won't be able to be actively walking stays, I am also not available for in person meet & greets (can do virtual). However, my daughter has been helping when it comes to walking and playing with our furry guests, we're just not able to care for bigger pups or big leash pullers at the moment, I will clean up and update my profile when I am fully recovered and cleared to walk larger guests. Thank you all for being the best understanding pet parents ever! 🐾🐾🐾 To my lovely pet parents, we have missed you and your furry babies a ton! We have very sad news, our Great Dane Zena has passed away at 11yrs old on January 15, 2025, we miss her dearly. We have moved far from our previous location, after the move Zenas health went on a steady decline, although I knew Great Danes life expectancy is short, I still wasn’t ready for her to go 💔 we hope that you and your furry loved ones find yourself in good spirits! As far as providing boarding services, we moved about an hour away from our previous location and there is no yard for play, it’ll be pretty boring here during winter, being couch potatoes is what we would be doing in bad weather besides the walks that we consistently provide, probably not a suitable stay for young pups. There’s a trail and dog park a car ride up the street we can visit in good weather. I will update my profile soon to reflect this. I want to say thank you again to all our loving fur parents for your support!!! ATTENTION PET PARENTS, REQUESTED MEET & GREETS NEED TO BE •TWO WEEKS BEFORE BOOKING DATE, SCHEDULED MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY •NO WEEKENDS, WE STILL DO DROP OFFS AND PICKUPS. THANK YOU TO ALL MY PET PARENTS FOR YOUR PATIENCE AND UNDERSTANDING! • IMPORTANT - Parents, if you’re requesting a meet & greet, I will show up at a location of your choice that is not my home for safety reasons, if I feel comfortable and safe, we can proceed to a second meeting at my home. Please present a fully completed profile, this helps sitters know that you’re an actual parent, thank you to all pet parents! • My rates are still the same, I am not here for money, I do not make my living off of Rover. • I offer my home to pets of traveling pet parents so they can feel at ease knowing that their furbabies are safe, cozy and well taken care of with my family in our home. • I love what I do and the experience of meeting new furry paws! With that said, any person requesting my services must maintain a level of respect, If I am made to feel uncomfortable or I’m disrespected in any way, I have the RIGHT to DENY services, NO EXCEPTIONS. 🐾🐾🐾 • At the moment, no furrkids over 60Lbs (I deeply apologize for this) • I am a huge animal lover and have experience with many breeds of dogs and other pets and animals. •I grew up on a farm and have dealt with a variety of animals and currently have a small flock of chickens, ducks and guineas (There’s no interaction between the birds and dogs) separate from the backyard which is pretty large. •I’ve taken a course in first aid for pets including CPR for small and big dogs. •I have taken care of small and big dogs always with constant supervision and child safety gates. •I never crate a dog unless it is requested and a crate is provided. All stays are welcome to sleep on the furniture and beds. •I am a stay at home mom and I have lots of free time to offer, also, I am also an introvert. •Three of my kids are also involved with walking and cuddling with pets, they keep each other company so it’s a win win! • Furry paws are not left alone and there is always someone at home to supervise. ***dog wash available upon request and is free of charge during stay. 🐾 ***please insure your furbabies are treated with a flea and tick preventative! We live in a wooded area. 🐾

Maribel and Ray are amazing! My puppy Valentino loves them and they always take great care of him. They send me updates and pics are couple of times a day . I have needed last minute babysit requests and they have been of great assistance every time. I highly recommend them because they make your dog feel at home away from home .

I am so glad I chose Maribel to babysit my pup Chihuahua. Her daughter Ray was amazing as well . They would send me daily pictures and messages showing how happy my pup was . It was his first time being away from us but Maribel and Ray made him feel like home. . They also bathed my pup which I greatly appreciate . I highly recommend Maribel and her family for overnight boarding and peace of mind whenever we go on vacation or out of town trips.

Maribel & Ray did an amazing job watching Jax for an extended long-term stay (45 days) while we were overseas. They gave us regular updates and we felt so comfortable leaving Jax with them. There was no stress, we had a worryfree and peaceful vacation knowing he was in good care.

Pets

A typical day

Play fetch, take walks through Trail down the street. Some like car rides and we sometimes visit pet shops for treats if permitted by pup parents and occasionally drop by the dog park. Some doggies just like to relax and lounge like couch potatoes, getting them good o’l ear scratches and tummy rubs. Also lots of cuddling and watching movies starring dogs.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Maribel can host up to 6 pets per night
I have no breed preferences as long as all pets are vetted, healthy and friendly, they are welcome in our home. Inform me of any medical issues I need to be aware of, an itinerary with a feeding schedule and care guide is very helpful. If there is any medication that needs to be administered, I am comfortable as long as directions are provided. *PUPPIES! Puppy guests should be 9 months+ under 50 Lbs and HOUSEBROKEN PLEASE, spending all day cleaning and washing soiled dog linen takes away from other guests time, we want to give them the best experience possible. ***There is a big dog, small dog ratio, we can have a mix but less big, more small if that makes sense, we only take in what we can handle. Have a Pawsome day!
