Ratings and reviews
This was Logan’s second time starting with Marivel & Alvaro. Both experiences were great. Good communication and lots of pics where my guy looked very happy
Marivel and Alvaro took wonderful care of Cranberry, and would definitely use them again. They were flexible about pickup times when our flight was delayed, and the handoff was quick and friendly. Thank you Marivel and Alvaro!
Marivel and Álvaro took moose last minute and he had a great weekend! They were flexible with my work schedule and were able to drop him off when my trip home got delayed. Thank you!
Thank you for being able to take Maggie in on such short notice. It looks like she had a great time! I greatly appreciate your flexibility and communication. Absolute lifesavers!
Koda enjoys playing with the other dogs and is well cared for which makes us happy. We will continue to use them
Had a really bad experience with Marivel and Almaro — they kept harassing and messaging me repeatedly for pick up for every minute of delay, escalated to the support team and asked for money for late pickup. On top, they had 4-5 more dogs besides Cocoa, while on their profile they only wrote 1. The price we paid per night was premium — which makes sense when it’s a few dogs, with more dogs we’ve always gotten lower prices, at the very least transparency about this. All my previous experiences with dog sittings were more relaxed, friendly with more understanding and flexibility for timings. Won’t recommend these folks, seem quite money minded and unfriendly.

Pets
A typical day
Once the day starts we open living room door (between 7/8am) to give pups access to yard to poop or pee when needed. The door remains open throughout the day, so pups can have access to living room when they please and close until night time (8:45/9pm) when pups are called in to sleep. *we feed pups separately (unless boarded together, from same owner) and wait to make sure they finish their meals/treats *after breakfast we usually play with pups for about an hr in the backyard to make sure they go if they didn’t go in the morning. *we then walk pups around our neighborhood (45 min 2/3mile walk) and get daily exercise (unless your pup doesn’t like or can’t go on walks) *Once we are back home pups usually nap for about an hr or sometimes more * play time again until dinner time unless pup wants to continue to nap *Dinner time at 5pm (feeding separately again no food after 5pm only a dental before bed) * bring pups in to sleep by 8:30/9 pm latest
