About Maru

Experience: 10 yrs

Calm, home boarding for small pets - one pet at a time. I specialize in boarding small companions who benefit from a quiet, attentive environment. I intentionally care for only one pet (or family) at a time to ensure focused care and a consistent routine. Your pet can expect -Clean, secure, peaceful space -No resident pets or young children -Daily interaction and attentive observation -Care tailored to their temperament You can expect -Clear communication and updates -Thoughtful intake to mirror routines -Calm, prepared response in emergencies -Optional pickup/drop-off About me I've cared for a wide range of pets over the years, including rabbits, dogs, cats, hamsters, and fish. As an empty nester who works from home, I have the time and presence to provide attentive, consistent care. Note: Because I only host one client at a time, availability is limited, early booking is recommended.

Maru after my rabbit for awhile when I went to visit my family. Very much an animal lover, was so excited to have him, was very attentive to his needs, asked me questions when she needed to, and overall made the process very easy. Would 100% recommend.
