Pet care experience

Let us be your pets' second home

I've been taking care of dogs since I was a kid. My family growing up always had at least 2 dogs at home and my neighbors and friends always relied on me to take care of their dogs while they traveled. As an adult, I have owned several of my own dogs and I have fostered close to 100 rescue dogs and cats in my home. I have interacted with many different breeds, sizes, and personalities.

Marilee is amazing with my anxious dog. She is so sweet and patient with him. We always book with her whenever we can.

Marilee was wonderful with our cat. We had never left her at another home and they made sure she was comfortable and well taken care of. She kept us updated and reassured the whole stay. She was very easy to communicate with and has such a sweet family. We’d definitely book with her again!

Marilee is great! She took such great care of our dog and sent us daily updates. You can tell she has a great heart and my wife and I didn’t worry about our dog at all while we were out of town.

We boarded our pup for 2 nights, and she was well taken care of. We could tell she was having a lot of fun by the pictures. We could also tell in talking to Marilee that she has a lot of experience with different dog issues, and we felt confident she would be able to help our high-energy dog get the exercise and rest needed. Great experience, would book with her again.

Safety, trust & environment

I have 3 friendly dogs and a handful of kids to help keep your pet entertained. We have a fenced yard in a quite neighborhood for play time. Our neighborhood has sidewalks for safe walks. We have crates of all styles and sizes if you prefer to not bring your own. We will use crates if your pet is going to be unsupervised to ensure the safety of all animals at our house, including yours. This includes at night. Please work with them on comfort in a crate before their stay if it has been a while since they used it last.

Pets

A typical day

We play at home in the morning and early afternoon, both inside and out. In the evening we like to go check out the smells around the neighborhood and stop by the park by my house for extra play!
