If you choose to leave your animal with me, I can accommodate them in my 2 bedroom apartment. Please note that they will be in the home with my 2 cats. I have not encountered any issues with between my cats and pets who stay here. Since my cats are shy, they usually keep their distance. I like to keep the animals separated anyways until they show signs of being ready to meet each other (curiosity and calmness).

Cozy Pet Inn 🐾💗

Pet care experience

Looking for someone to care for your pet while you're on a trip? Book your pet a stay at the Cozy Pet Inn while you enjoy the vacation you booked for yourself. Your dog or cat will lounge around in my cozy apartment and you can rest easy knowing your baby is safe and cared for. I take one client at a time for any given stay, so my focus will be on serving you and your pet. I have specialized experience with caring for senior dogs and dogs with separation anxiety, since I used to have a senior dog with separation anxiety of my own (RIP Lola ♡). As a self-employed artist I spend most of my days at home, which allows me to keep your pet company at all times. I joined Rover simply because I love animals. Interacting with them brings me so much joy. It's a privilege to have had the opportunity to meet so many different fur babies. I'm always grateful for the chance to spend time with your pet.

Marien was a blessing to our fur baby Guapo. She was so kind and patient and really took care of him. He looked so happy and really enjoyed himself! We are super thankful for her and think she’s amazing. I haven’t let anyone watch him yet alone it’s my first time leaving him and she made it so seamless. Neither of us were anxious about the experience. 😭 I highly recommend Marien.

Marien did an amazing job taking care of our cat Bubby. She was quite proactive in giving us updates and sharing lots of pictures and genuinely made an effort to connect with our cat and keep her comfortable. Would definitely board with her again ❤️

I was able to book Marien with kind of a short notice, which I genuinely appreciate. A based off of the daily photo updates, I could safely say Archer enjoyed his stay :) I don’t think he wanted to leave!
