My name is Marynell. I am a retiree living in Indian Wells, within a dog-friendly, gated community. I have owned and cared for large and small animals all my life, and am looking forward to caring for your dogs at Villa BowWOW. I've always had a love and deep respect for all animals. I can’t remember a time when I haven’t had at least one dog in my life; from: Maltese Terriers, Labrador Retrievers, Lhasa Apsos, Golden Retrievers, Pugs, to Beagles. I love them all and am well versed in their different needs for exercise, feeding, playtime and rest. I also worked for 7 years as a house manager for an orthopedic surgeon who had FOUR Chocolate Labs, thus am extremely experienced with managing several dogs within a home environment. Your fur-family will be well cared for, safe, and protected in my home. Your care instructions will be followed and your furry friends will enjoy their stay and look forward to their next visit to Villa BowWOW. I am retired so have the time available for activities and extra care. A typical day with me includes several walks, fetching toys, brushing, feeding, conversations, and naps. Dogs are my passion and joy! There is a minimum of one long walk a day through the park area, as well as use of the outdoor grassy play area. There are toys and cushions in the villa, and plenty of access to water. All dogs have free run of my home, with ongoing safety supervision. Think of it as a chance for your dogs to stay at the grandma's house you always wanted. I have dog beds throughout the house. All guests must be current with their vaccines, and be able to show proof of same. I am comfortable giving either oral medications. My villa is peaceful and calm. No children. Fairly few neighborhood animals to distract them. I so hope to meet you and your pet!
