Safety, trust & environment

Our spacious yard is securely fenced all the way around. We have 2 small friendly dogs of our own- one is older and blind and mostly sleeps, the other is a funny and easily likable little ewok creature. We can keep them separate or together for companionship. All dogs will be sure to have plenty of space and positive interaction whichever way you prefer. I have 3 respectful children that love animals as well and can also keep separated if wanted. We live in a nice area with kind neighbors. Walks and play in parks can be included.

Information Marin P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there's any specific needs for your dogs to help them in whatever way. I'd be happy to accommodate by all means that I can.

A typical day

I understand how important it is to stimulate your dogs physically and mentally. I want every dog that stays with me to feel at home, being comfortable and calm. Play and exercise is essential for a happy pet. Love and individual care will always be shown to help your dog feel the most at ease.

Pets

More than family pet care

Pet care experience

Since I was 14, I had so much fun taking care of dogs and other pets on a regular basis. This has included when there owners went out of town or when they needed extra medical help. We were raised with dogs, cats, snakes, frogs, rodents, etc. Each and every little life is so unique and important. I still truly enjoy giving genuine care to animals and making them feel comfortable with our family.

Marin was very attentive and took great care of my dog. I would book a sitting with her in the future

Our boy loves to stay with Mer and gets the best care. She communicates with any concerns and daily photos. He loves to play with the family and other dogs and drags us in top speed when we leave on a trip. Very reassuring he likes it so well. Like a doggy vacation for him.

Marin is always reliable, a great communicator, and loving to our sweet pup! Pippin loves going to her house and we love Marin’s photos. Our dog is clearly loved when she goes there! 😀
