Safety, trust & environment

Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I treat every dog like they’re my own, and I create a calm, comfortable environment where they feel safe, loved, and understood. I make sure my home is dog-friendly and free of hazards. I keep a consistent routine for feeding, walking, and playtime to help dogs feel secure, and I follow any instructions you provide down to the smallest detail—medications, dietary needs, preferred walking routes, and more. Most importantly, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone new—and I’m here to make that experience feel as easy and worry-free as possible.

Information Mariel & Bram F. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know what your pup's schedule is like, what is their favorite thing to do, how social they are, and of course... their favorite treat!

A typical day

A typical day with your dog under our care will be full of love, movement, and cuddles! We start our mornings with a short walk around the neighborhood—Pepe loves sniffing around and saying hi to other pups. After breakfast, there’s plenty of cuddle time while I work or relax at home. In the afternoons, we go for a longer walk in the river walk or Kensington or head to the fenced dog park for some playtime. Evenings are for winding down with more snuggles, maybe a treat or two, and lots of love.

Where Paws Feel Right at Home

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for my own furry 9companions. Since I was 20, dogs have been a constant and joyful part of my life—I’ve raised them from puppies, managed their health as seniors, and given them all the love, attention, and care they deserve every day. I treat every dog as if they were my own. I'm patient, reliable, and very detail-oriented when it comes to feeding, walking, and making sure your pup feels safe and happy. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust, and I take that responsibility seriously.

Mariel and Bram went above and beyond to take care of our puppy while we were gone! We knew that he was having a great time through all of the updates and photos Mariel and Bram sent us each day of our Winnie's stay! Communication was amazing and the next time we need boarding, Mariel and Bram will be our first choice!

Mariel & Bram took wonderful care of our puppy while we were out skiing! They were so kind and caring, and we loved all the updates and photos throughout the day. It gave us great peace of mind. And their dog Pepe is very cute! We would absolutely recommend them.

So thankful for Mariel, Bram and Pepe! I could tell from the pictures and videos that Malo was being his silly self right away, which shows he was totally comfortable. They shared a bunch of updates throughout the whole stay, that made me feel at peace being away from my pup. I would recommend Mariel and Brad to any dog owners who want to find a fun, caring family while away from their pup.
