Safety, trust & environment

My main goal is to make your return home as stress-free as possible. When I care for your dog in your home, I treat your space with the utmost respect and care, ensuring it's just as clean—if not cleaner—than when you left. From wiping down surfaces and cleaning up pet-related messes to ensuring food and water areas are spotless, I leave no detail overlooked. I also take care to ensure that your dog is not only well-fed and exercised but also relaxed and comfortable in their familiar surroundings.

Information Maryn R. would like to know about your pet

Answers to any of the following questions will help me be the best caregiver/walker I can be for your sweet fur baby! Routine and Preferences: * What is your dog’s daily routine? (e.g., typical walk times, feeding schedule) * Are there any specific activities your dog enjoys or dislikes? (e.g., fetch, tug of war, meeting other dogs) Health and Medical Needs: * Does your dog have any medical conditions or allergies? * Are they on any medications that need to be administered? * Any recent injuries or surgeries I should be aware of? Behavioral Traits: * How does your dog typically behave around strangers, other dogs, or in new environments? * Are there any known triggers or fears? (e.g., loud noises, certain types of dogs) * Is your dog prone to pulling on the leash or attempting to escape? Training and Commands: * What commands does your dog respond to? (e.g., sit, stay, heel) * Are there any specific training methods you use or prefer? Special Instructions: * Any additional details that would help me provide the best care for your dog?

A typical day

I love keeping dogs active and entertained with various fun activities tailored to their preferences. Whether it's going on long walks to explore the neighborhood, playing an exhilarating game of fetch, or challenging them with a thrilling round of tug-of-war or keep-away, I’m all about making sure your dog gets the physical exercise it needs. But it's not just about burning off energy—I'm also keen on exercising their minds. If available, I love introducing food puzzles that keep your dog engaged and mentally stimulated. These activities ensure that your dog not only stays fit but also happy and fulfilled.

Maryn and Steven took such good care of Bo! They went above and beyond caring for him since he was have some digestive issues that popped up. Maryn has lots of patience and her care reassured me he was in good hands. Lots of photos and updates. Highly recommend Maryn!
