Information Mariko N. would like to know about your pet
Your dog(s) must be spayed/neutered, updated all vaccines(prior 2 weeks before) and taking flea/ticks collar, med or oil. It would be difficult for any dog(s) to accept a new environment without their owner(s). Your dog(s) may do unusual things that they never do at your house like marking in a house, mounting fight, destroy things. Especially male dogs, if your dog(s) causes marking issue in the house, I must seek a solution(buy diapers or bellybands) and cooperation from the owner(s). Please don't take as an insult or complaining. I am here for your dog(s) to work things out. We have a doggy door. If your dog(s) are trained and need to go potty frequently, no worry.

Pet care experience
Meet up is required to all the clients,even house in visit. Attention: My Summer Break is from July 7th - July 13th. I will be gone. Must pick up by 6th. Day care: $30 for 12hs open 6AM - 8PM. Boarding: IF you have large size dog(s), I would accept low-moderate energy up to 70lb. I take multi dogs at once so I do consider the size and energy level in ratio. New clients: requires from 2 nights. Trial boarding 12hs for $30, if needed. Hello to the future client. You worry about leaving your dog(s) with someone that you don't know very well, right? I've been your position while I was in abroad for 2 months. But you just found a family that your dog(s) would have a good time. Here we are the Nicoletti family. You may have seen us at Habitat dog park or on Nathan Chapman Memorial Trail. As you see in these pictures, also my husband and child are super involved into my business and always excited to interact. I have experienced with injecting insulin, oral meds, ointment and eye drops. I have owned a Doxie(Ivdd back issue?) so have better understanding for the corgis too. I grew up with having a Shiba, Japanese Spitz, Golden, Lab, Akita mix, Dalmatian at my parents house. I have 12 years old female Piebald Tweenie/dachshund. She is a typical doxie AKA Miss.Barker for nothing( if you owned one, you know what I'm talking about right?). But she prefers chilling than zoom at the backyard, so she will give your dog(s) enough space to warm up. I am communicative person and send the videos,pictures of your dog(s) often. Believe or not, your dog(s) may act unexpectedly when they're in unfamiliar environments and around unfamiliar people such as marking in the house, mounting and biting other dogs, chewing up the fence line, or quickly dig under fences. I will monitor and update your dog(s) behavior or health condition(stool condition, appetite and energy level). Let's figure out what we can do better for your dog(s) together. I will expect a cooperation/understanding from you. I am here for working things out with your dog(s). Bring the belongings(included anxiety medications, calming chew/oil) that help your dog(s) relax able.

Reviews
Mariko was the absolute best with watching our dog Bruce! We originally had a friend lined up to watch our dog, but it fell through and Mariko was able to take him in on short notice. She constantly sent pictures and videos of Bruce showing just how much fun he was having and how much care she was giving to, not only our dog, but every other dog she was watching. I am absolutely going to use Mariko again, in the future, for any of our dog watching needs because I know that Bruce had such a good time even if he can't tell us.
The most important thing for us is to know our elderly dog is safe, with people who understand an older dog and her needs. Mariko is that person! Millie is content, and well taken care of which gives us peace of mind when we are away. Much better than leaving her in a kennel.
Always a great job
Amazing!!! I was so nervous having to find a new sitter for my 2 dachshunds, but after our 1st meet and greet I felt extremely comfortable!! We went for a 2nd visit and again felt very comfortable leaving Milo & Annie with Mariko and her wonderful family!! They were there for 10 nights. I received many updates with photos and videos of their many walks, visits to the park and even all the loving cuddles and naps!! Not only was I on vacation but so we're my high maintenance, spoiled senior pups!! What a wonderful comforting experience!! I cannot say enough to express my gratitude to Mariko!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND her and can only hope that she has availability every time I need to be away!!
