Mariya and her husband were incredibly kind and caring with my dog, even though he caused them quite a bit of trouble since it was his first long stay away from our family. They were so patient and understanding with my puppy, which really put me at ease. They took him on long daily walks and shared pictures and videos every day, which I truly appreciated. I would definitely recommend Mariya for dog boarding

Our dog was well loved and cared for at Mariya's, and she kept us updated with photos daily! We will definitely reach out again for future boarding.

Mariya took great care of my senior dog. She offered quick and easy booking, flexibility and great communication throughout the week. Will definitely use again.

Mariya took very good care of my dogs. One of my dogs is a picky eater and somehow she got her to eat everything in the bowl. My other dog is elderly and Mariya was very gentle with her when walking and followed all the medication instruction exactly. I know when I leave my dogs with Mariya, I can trust her to treat them like they are her own.
