Pet care experience

Dog loving family, home full time!

We're a family of 4, with my husband, son and daughter. Our golden retriever Astro passed away a few years ago, he was the sweetest pup and loved anyone’s company. Our family adore dogs and have lots of fun walking and playing with them. Our family has hosted dogs in the past, and we are very excited to be able to host many more. We live in a nice and safe subdivision, with lots of space, including a waking trail right behind the house and a fenced yard. Both of us work from home so there will be someone at home with your dog most of the time. We absolutely loved getting pictures of Astro when he was being dogsitted, so we will definitely make sure to update you on how your pup is doing! We will make sure your dog feels right at home :)

Thank you Maria and Marco for taking such good care of our 20 lb Labradoodle named Ruthie. We loved receiving the daily photos you sent. She certainly had a lot of fun with you both in your fenced backyard and daily walks along the Greenway paths. She loves her new purple bandana, how did you know that is her favorite color? We are so happy to have found a dog sitter we can trust and where Ruthie can stay and be cared for while we travel.

We really appreciate Marie going above and beyond in watching our puppy for two weeks. She sent pictures and updates daily, and I knew that Winnie was safe and well cared for.

Book with Marie!!! We have a demanding Shiba Inu who’s extremely anxious, so I provided a detailed care guide, which they took the time to read and follow! Marie and her family provided phenomenal supports during this process, showing understanding and love towards Toby despite how skittish he is. They send us lots of pictures and updates, which I absolutely love. I will definitely recommend them, and will rebook if we travel again!

This was my first time using Rover. I was so worried as my frenchie is spoiled and is used to being with us all the time! Marie and her family treated Oscar like their own. She sent pictures and videos and he was so happy being with them. I could not have asked for a better experience!!! Will definitely use Marie again!

Non-aggressive dogs. All dogs need to be potty trained! We unfortunately do not take pitbuls or pitbul-mix. Important: Please also be aware if any major stain needs to be cleaned in the carpets during the stay the owner will be responsible. We count "nights" as a 24 hour day, meaning if you drop the dog at a specific time, you need to pick it up at the same time. If it is not possible the difference will be in 1/2 day more as a charge if it is 3-4 hours difference, more than that, it will count as a 1 full day. Request: If possible, please give your dog a bath or bring him/her clean and cut the nails before coming over. We want to keep a clean environment for every dog we take care of and for our family. Last thing we are receiving dogs that are ok interacting with other dogs even though we take 1, 2 or 3(exceptionally) dogs max at the same time Thanks for your help and understanding!
