Girdwood Doggy Motel

Pet care experience

We are two dog lovers who can't wait to meet your pup! Living in Girdwood, we have no shortage of fun activities to do with your dog. We usually take the pups on two long walks/hikes, and tons of smaller "outings" throughout the day. Our own dogs, Vito and Cooper, get along with everyone and love having playmates. The pups sleep on the bed, couch or floor - wherever they prefer. I have extensive experience with dog rescues, and have served on the Board of Directors for Southern California's largest and fastest-growing rescue, Labs and More, for two years. We have had 31 foster doggies and love having dog visitors. Our experience includes a multitude of special needs dogs, young puppies and seniors. We have nursed pups with Parvo and Distemper, so understand medical needs. We do have a small staircase (three stairs) to access the building, so if you have a senior who is restricted to no stairs we may not be a good fit. If your dog has separation anxiety and requires a crate, please let us know in advance! We have a small crate, but generally only use it for small puppies.

Mariel was great! She took Happy for walks right on schedule and sent photos of her having a fun time! It made my work day easier knowing Happy was being well taken care of. I would highly recommend Mariel!

It would be great to know if your dog has any issues or anxieties with other dogs or humans. Any physical restrictions would be great to know as well!
