Dogs Are Better Than People

Pet care experience

Hello! I've grown up with pets my whole life and I currently have a five year old (well behaved!) happy, high-energy Siberian Husky at home that I have no problem keeping up with. Whether your pup needs to be tired out with long walks, runs, or plenty of play-time, or if your angel is more of a Netflix and blankets kind of pooch, I'm your human! (And so is my fiancé, James, who used to go mushing with his family's pack of huskies as a kid!) I've worked at a doggy daycare facility and I have taken a variety of dog training classes, so I am well-versed in dog behavioral issues and methods of redirecting less desirable behaviors. Additionally, if you have any training practices you've been working on at home, I am happy to continue to encourage those behaviors during their stay. My dog has a liver condition so I’m experienced in administering medication as well as being meticulously adamant about special dietary needs. You can rest easy knowing your pup is in good hands! PS - I'm a freelance photographer and if you'd like a quick session during your pup's stay, just shoot me a message! :)

Marites has been a sitter for us multiple times and it's been amazing every single time. I'm pretty sure our pup likes being at Marites' place more than ours. It gets harder to convince him to leave every time. She treats him like one her own and it's like a second home for him. We'll go with Marites every chance we get!

Marites and James were great with my pups! I feel confident that my dogs are being well taken care of, which is so nice not to have to worry about when I’m away. Would definitely recommend and feel lucky to have found them.

Information Marites W. would like to know about your pet

First off, we do not breed discriminate! Bully breeds, purebreds, mutts, and everything in between are welcome. We'd love to know your pup's favorite activities, treats, and place to be scratched. We'd also love to have a feeding schedule and emergency contact numbers, but we'll get to that later.

A typical day

We have a fully fenced in, "husky proof" backyard that my dog Jarvis loves, and so will your pup! We'll play fetch, play tug, go on walks, we might even break out the kiddie pool if it's hot out... we like to have fun!
