Pet care experience
IF you have large dogs(s), I would take low-moderate energy up to 70lb. I accept multi dogs at once so I do consider the size and energy level in ratio. Are you worried about leaving your dog(s) with someone that you don't know very well? If I were you, I would feel the same way with bunch of reasons. But you just found a family that your dog(s) would have a good time. Here we are the Nicoletti family who has experienced with Dachshunds(have an IVDD issue?) and Corgis for long time. You may have seen us on Nathan Chapman Memorial Trail. We take the dog(s) there often. As you see in these pictures, also my husband and child are involved into my business and always excited to interact with the dog(s).. I have experienced with injecting insulin, oral meds, ointment and eye drops. I have 10 years old female Piebald Standard dachshund. She sees herself as a Rottweiler in the mirror. She is a typical doxie AKA Miss.Barker for nothing( if you owned one, you know what I'm talking about right?). She is reaching that age she prefers chill than running around, so she will give your dog(s) enough space to warm up. I am communicative person and send the pictures/videos of your dog(s) everyday. I would text you even small changes(soft stool, decreased appetite, pee/poop accident inside house, licking paws with red skin, etc) and I will be honest with you about your dog(s) behavior both good and bad. Please do not take I am complaining to you but seeking solution and cooperation/understanding. I am here for working things out with your dog(s).
Reviews
Mariko and her fam took great care of our pups while we were away from home. Will hire her again in the future.
Marika was so kind to our dogs. She sent videos each day and her whole family participated in making our dogs happy
Thank you Mariko San to take care of Loi again. I feel he was more comfortable and happy to see you and to be there with your family. We appreciate everything you’ve done for our baby 🐶 Thank you again. Kaori
Mariko took such good care of my 3 boys while we were on vacation. She sent pictures daily of them going on walks or snuggling with the family. I was kind of stressed because they are my babies but she made me feel confident that they were well cared for so that I could enjoy my vacation. I could tell by the pictures and videos that they didn’t miss me at all. They were having fun. I highly recommend her. She is amazing and I would definitely ask her to care for my boys again.

Safety, trust & environment
I ask everyone that your dog(s) must be updated all vaccines, spayed or neutered, taking flea/ticks med or collar or oil. Boarding : we have full fenced back yard and there is a gate at the front patio for escape prevention( thin skinny dog(s) could go through ). I can create designated area( small-medium space or divide living room into 2 rooms. I usually create it for safety purpose to feed individually, introduce dog(s) or for territorial dog(s). I was donated a Large size crate kennel. If you crate trained your dog(s) at home and using it every day, you only need to bring a liner/blanket or bed. Bring your dog(s) belongings,,,,, *Food and treats *Dish for L size dogs! *bed and blanket *bath towel *toys If apply below,,, *diapers, wee pads, belly bands *medications *specific crate, kennel

Information Mariko N. would like to know about your pet
I do not take non neutered/spayed and non potty trained dogs. Your dog(s) must be updated all vaccines and taking flea/ticks collar, med or oil. I have owned a dachshund for 10 years and I have better understanding about dachshunds back/spine issues(IVDD), similar things to any dogs who have a long body with short legs, for example: Corgis, Chiweenies. It would be difficult for any dog(s) to accept a new environment without their owner(s), so I understand the potty accident happens. 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.
A typical day
In the morning: As soon as one of us wake up between 6am-7am, we take dog(s) to the backyard then feed breakfast and go potty again. Depends on a weather and your dog(s) physical condition, we go on adventure around my neighborhood, where leads to the trail 3.2miles long.
