Pet care experience

Fenced yard, lots of love and walks

I've always had dogs growing up and as an adult and I know how difficult is to find a good person to take care of your dogs while on vacation or away for work. They'll be well taken care of and loved at my house. My family used to have German Sheppards and Poodles. I've myself had Akitas and rat terriers with which I did Barn hunts. Currently I have 3 Whippets, medium size dogs. One of them is a rescue senior dog, very sweet. We all enjoy our walks on the trails around Maumelle, catching ball in our back yard and occasional lure coursing events. Your dogs would get plenty of exercise while on "vacation" with me. I also have 2 school aged children, very well behaved around dogs.

Maru was amazing! Extremely quick responses, clearly cares for dogs based on how well she treats her own pups, and sent more photos than any sitter I’ve ever had! Would recommend in a heartbeat.

We were traveling through the area and needed a last minute place for our pup and these accommodations were perfect. Super communicative and helpful.

I quickly realized that i had found a get fit for Rocket. She accepted to care for him on short notice. She was constantly sending pics and updating me. It was a great comfort while i was in the hospital. Thank you!
