I found Marpawws on the Thumbtack app last Fri and after reading all the positive reviews, I sent my message and Mariam responded immediately! During our initial correspondence via text she already made me feel super comfortable with asking her anything; and the questions she asked me to get to know my baby girl were important ones such as what her behavior around other dogs was like. This let me know that she is careful to ensure the safety of each pet that boards with her. We set up a meet and greet for this week which was on Thurs and it went extremely well! My baby is very leash aggressive, temperamental and reactive when it comes to strangers and other dogs but when we approached Mariam and her partner Jason with their pup in their front yard, my little mean girl was so calm and friendly I couldn't believe it! She took to them both and their dog really well walking into their home with such confidence and comfort as if it was our home. The environment is super welcoming, clean and inviting with the backyard being perfect for playtime. I never got a sense of overcrowding especially since they don't board more than 5 dogs at a time. I already felt like we were a good fit for them, but I wanted to do a trial run by leaving my baby with them before leaving her next month for the first time for 2 weeks. They were so flexible and accommodating that they agreed to have me leave her yesterday morning and I picked her up this evening. Not once did Mariam make me feel like I couldn't text her to check up on my girl. She even initiated some of the texts sending me pics and vids, which made me extremely happy because I can tell that Soca felt comfortable to the point where she was even on her bed! This very personal approach to pet boarding is something I have been looking for and I'm so happy that I found them. They are an amazing couple who truly showed love, affection and attention to my nervous nelly/separation anxiety-prone girl. Her honesty and concern today with letting me know that my girl hadn't eaten her breakfast was confirmation that she really cared for her, but that she wanted to know what she can do. She did what I suggested and it worked. When I picked her up she looked happy and wasn't aggressive or lunging at their neighbors and her dog who stopped to chat. I was like who is this dog and where did they hide mine? Lol. She didn't even want to leave which speaks volumes to their care. I would 1,000% recommend marpawws to anyone in need of a pet sitter/boarder. They are a God send!

Mariam was so great watching my pup! He’s blind and has a lot of medicine but that didn’t phase her. She took care of him so well and he was so happy when I picked him up! I will definitely use her again for pet sitting/ boarding.

I can’t say enough about Mariam and the love she gave our puppy George. We got George just days before we had to travel and I was so nervous about leaving him with anyone. As soon as I met Miriam I knew he was in great hands. The service at Marpawws is top notch. I’m so grateful to have found a loving and dependable dog sitter.
