Pet care experience

Your dog is family here.

A lifetime of loving dogs is what drives my pet care. I grew up with dogs of my own and have spent years caring for the pets of friends and family. Because dogs have always been a central part of my life, I will create a nurturing, safe, and attentive environment for your dog.

To keep it plain and simple, I trust no one else with my doggo! Marinela is so so caring and kind, she takes such good care of my dog and always sends us picture updates. I have known Mari for years, even before we got a dog, so I know very well how much love she has for animals. She’s patient, she’s organized, my dog somehow comes home looking better than before every time - I don’t know how she does it but I am so lucky to have someone I trust with my little one 🫶🏻

Mari has taken care of our dog Teddy multiple times now, and I can’t recommend her enough as a pet sitter! She treats Teddy like he’s her own, giving him lots of love, pets, and walks, to the point where sometimes Teddy doesn’t even want to leave! She always sends us photos of Teddy making himself right at home, which gives us so much peace of mind while we’re away. Mari and her daughter Mara are the perfect dog parents to their own dog, Lucky, and they share that same love and care with every dog they look after, including Teddy. I can’t recommend Mari enough to other dog owners. She is patient, caring, trustworthy, and genuinely wonderful with Teddy. We always feel completely comfortable knowing he’s in her care!

My dog, Bella, has stayed with Marinela a few times over the years, sometimes for over a week at a time, and I think she might love her more than she loves me. I still use Marinela’s name as a bribe when I want Bella to listen. Mari is the sweetest, most caring dog mom I’ve ever met, my family and I simply refuse to leave our precious Bella with anyone else.

Marinela was wonderful! She was always very reliable and trustworthy when my dog was with her! She was sending pictures and updates everyday which gave me a piece of mind when I was traveling! Myla, my dog, was always well fed and well taken care for and very happy there! Will definitely book her again in the future! Highly recommended!

I've known Marinela since we were both children and I can honestly say she is one of the most caring, responsible and trustworthy people I know. She has a genuine love for all animals and I am sure she will bring that same patience, compassion and dedication to her new boarding business. She has all the qualities needed for caring for someone's else's beloved pet: dependable, atentive to details, able to create a safe and welcoming environment for those around her. She looked after my dog on several occasions and I trust her completely. I would wholeheartedly recommend Marinela's house to anyone looking for a safe, loving and reliable place for their dog to stay. She will take wonderful care of every dog entrusted to her.

Schedule

I work from home full-time, which allows me to maintain a structured and attentive routine. Your dog will enjoy an active, fun-filled day with me! My routine includes four 20–30 minute walks outside every day, paired with plenty of open playtime in my fenced yard. It is the perfect balance of structured walking and backyard fun to keep your pup happy and tired by bedtime.
