Safety, trust & environment
Pups have access to our entire home. They are allowed on our furniture and are welcome to sleep in our beds. If you prefer they sleep in their own bed or crate, please provide one for their stay. We have a large fenced in yard that is great for pups to stretch their paws, and play, while also keeping safety in mind.

Information Melina & Maria T. would like to know about your pet
Prior to any stay, please let us know of your pet’s feeding and potty schedules. Additional details to help ensure a successful stay: level of care required, temperament, any possible allergies, medications schedules (if any), reactivity, if your pet has separation anxiety and how they interact with other people and animals. The more information you share, the better prepared we’ll be to ensure your pet’s comfort! Please don't think you’re being a crazy pet parent! These are your babies and we want the best for them! **Just a heads up, prices may vary depending on your pet's unique needs. This might include things like administering medication, special feedings, more than three 30 min walks per day, additional required exercise, or if your pup cannot be left alone for more than a couple of hours, etc. We'll discuss all details during your meet and greet or before the first visit so you know exactly what to expect**
A typical day
Please let us know what kind of activities your pup enjoys as we love to keep them engaged with enrichment activities! If your pup is high energy and enjoys the outdoors, we can check out some local trails for a long walk or hike. If your pup is more of a homebody, we can hangout and watch Netflix. We have different styles of toys, balls and stuffies to engage any preference as well as dog friendly puzzles and DIY enrichment games to keep their minds sharp and entertained! Please also let us know of any food restrictions as some enrichment games include homemade treats!

Animal Lovers Unite!!!
Pet care experience
Hello and welcome!! With us, pet care is a family affair and we treat your pets like family! We grew up with pets of our own and we each bring our own pet care experience. Melina: I’ve been working with animals since 2016, starting as a dog walker and pet sitter before spending several years as a dog trainer. I later found my true passion as a dog groomer. As my grooming work has grown, my mom now leads pet sitting services while following the same care routines and standards I’ve always used. I remain involved when possible and truly value the relationships I’ve built with pets and their families. I have additional liability insurance that covers our home, our clients’ homes, and the animals in my care. Maria: I am an animal lover and I have been helping my daughters with pet sitting, boarding and dog walking since 2017. I am a retired snowbird, and when I am home, I just love to have furry friends to take care of. I love hiking and bike riding, so I am definitely able to tire out your energetic pup or cuddle with your couch potato. We recently lost our beloved senior Cockapoo, Ziggy. We’ve since added Cora Blue (whom we’re fostering to adopt) and cousin Luna (Schnauzer mix) visits often! Both pups love having furry friends over and are very welcoming! When your pups stay with us, they will have access to our entire home, dog friendly toys, puzzles and treats! They are also welcome on all furniture and beds! We even have a large fenced in yard, perfect for them to run around in! Thanks for visiting and please reach out with any questions!

Reviews


Maria stayed with our two elderly dogs while we were on vacation and took great care of them. They were obviously excited to see her, and she was careful to follow all eye drop and medication instructions, even when one of our dogs was not very cooperative. Maria communicated very clearly and often with us, making us feel comfortable that the dogs were well cared for and that we knew how they were doing. She also was very respectful of our house and even watered plants without being asked!


Buttercup and Lily had a great time at Maria's house! They were well cared for and happy there. We will book again!


So fabulous! Not only did our pooches have a house sitter, they had a new best friend. Incredible communication with updates leading up to, during and after the stay. Thanks for the training, treats and fun!

Marina was amazing! She was great with our older dog and took great care of her on a walk.
