"I loooooove my buds at Marin Pet Care Pros. All the big dogs are so friendly and taught me how to hang with the best of them!

"Luckily for me my Mom found Marin Pet Care Pros on-line when I was still a puppy. My name is Louie. I am now a big boy of three years old also know as an 80 lb. Golden Retriever.
I get to go for a play day with my sister, Lola, (she's on the right in this pic) every Tuesday and also when my parents go out of town we go for slumber parties to MPCP.
Every Tuesday Basia picks my sister and me up at 8:00 am on the dot. We wait patiently and watch from the upstairs window for her arrival. The minute we see her pull up to our house, we can hardly contain our excitement. We run downstairs, because we know the minute we get in her van to the minute she brings us home we are in for a lot of fun.
We get to play with our regular friends and also meet and make new friends. The backyard has some really great toys to play with and crawl through. We even have our own warm and cozy family room off the kitchen which is called the dog room.
We feel safe and secure at MPCP. We run and play all day. When we get home we have our dinner, make a trip out in our backyard to go potty and then we pass out from our happy, playful day. Our Mom calls it a happy exhaustion! Most times the following day we want to lay low. Our Mom calls that the "Basia Hangover."
Come join us for fun and socialization! You're gonna love it! "

"I found out about MPCP from one of my puppy friends, Sam. I was so glad to finally have a crew of nice puppies and dogs to play with all day! I love it so much, I visit at least one day every week, sometimes more.
My Mom and Dad are busy working parents and like it when I can get some of my youthful energy out. They love the cute texts and videos that Basia sends during the day.
I also get to have sleepovers when my parents go out of town.
I love Basia so much that one time I saw her driving in the neighborhood, and I made my Mom look for her van for 20 minutes (no joke). Thank you MPCP for being my 2nd home!"

"I have been going to MPCP every day for almost a year! When I am there my parents know I am getting all the love, attention, socialization and exercise I need. PLUS, I get to see all my best friends.
My parents work in the city, so having MPCP pick me up and drop me off each day has been a lifesaver.
We love MPCP so much that I board with them if my parents need to go away for any length of time -- and they don't need to feel guilty.
As a family, we don't know where we would be without Basia and the crew!"

"I have been with Basia since my parents first brought me home. I have so much fun when I am at her house and she even lets me sleep on her bed, which is a huge bonus in my book.
I get to play with dogs of all shapes, sizes and breeds and have the best time. I am always very sad when mom and dad have to go away on a trip, but when I see Basia walk through that gate to pick me up, I know that I am going to have so much fun!

Looking forward to my next staycation here!"

When my Mom and Dad go away, I get to have a slumber party and meet lots of new best friends. We play all day and snuggle and chew on bones together.
Basia is really nice and teaches me a lot too!

"My pawrents adopted me at age 2 and then found Basia of Marin Pet Care Pros to help them out with me!
I am overjoyed when I see her doggie van pull up (she picks me up and drops me off right at my home)! My pawrents know that I always return happy and exhausted from tons of exercise there.
And, to keep them reassured and at ease when they travel without me, Basia sends them pictures and videos of me running around and having fun with my friends as well as updates on how I'm actually doing. I'm glad they're happy, cuz' I sure am when I get to stay here! Thanks, Mom and Dad!"

"I love Basia! She was so amazing at helping me learn my manners and even better at training my people!
Don't be fooled, people need training too so they know how to continue enforcing lessons. She was always patient, practical, kind and brought her great sense of humor to lighten things up.
She really understands me and I had so much fun learning new things. My people were so happy with my progress and thought the services were a great value.
Everyone says I'm a good boy now, all thanks to my training with Basia."

“Staying with Basia and all the other doggo friends at MPCP is THE best! We get to play and have fun together, all while giving my parents peace of mind that I’m in good hands...err, I mean paws.
Basia’s a pro! She knows exactly what to do, and how to keep us all happy and healthy during my visits. She even has us all magically nap together AT THE SAME TIME which my mom still can’t figure out.
Even though I sometimes don’t get to go on trips with my family, staying at MPCP is the next best thing!”

"Hey, Mom and Dad - do you know, do you know - that today is Tuesday? Do you know what that means?? It means I am going to see my other favorite human friend, Basia!
She takes such good care of me. She even has all these doggy friends for me to play with.
Oh, and have you seen her backyard? She has lots of space for us to run and great places to play hide and seek! Her toys are pretty marvelous too!
I get pretty wiped out with all the activity, so nap time is particularly special to me because I get to cuddle up with a friend!
Even better, we get to go for car rides together and drop off our friends.
I feel really lucky to have such a special human like Basia and her team! Thanks for letting me share my time with her!"

"Basia is Paw-TASTIC! She taught me all of the basics and SO MUCH MORE. After one week with her, I went home to my paw-rents and was able to show off all the commands and manners I learned. I even earned a diploma that hangs over my crate!
I came to Basia as a very young pup who didn't know much about the world but with her help, I've become a confident, proper young dog who loves to play nice and excitedly completes all of my commands!
The only thing I wish she taught me was how to drive the car myself so I could drive over whenever I wanted to see my bestest fur-ever friends!"

"Woof! I love coming to MPCP to spend time with all my doggy friends.
As a smaller dog, it's important that I be comfortable around larger dogs. At MPCP I get to socialize with many different breeds, and this allows me to not be scared when I meet those bigger dogs in my everyday life.
Basia always makes sure I am comfortable and safe, and I love being picked up and dropped off right at home!"

"My parents have been sending me to daycare at Marin Pet Care Pros since I was a tiny little pup. I was really shy and timid at first, but mom and dad have said that daycare with Basia has been essential to my socialization and has increased my confidence since I‘m able to meet new dog friends in a safe environment.
I love going to daycare, because I play with my best dog friends all day and Basia is my favorite human besides my parents.
We even make videos to send to my parents so they know I’m having a great time.
Sometimes mom and dad go on vacation without me, and I get to hang out with Basia and friends even more!"

Basia is so good at snapping photos of me and my friends and sending them to my parents when they are away. They LOVE it.
Staying here, I feel like part of the family, and Basia even lets me sleep in her giant bed when I stay the night!
Thanks, Basia, for always taking care of me. Woof woof"

"I have some anxiety and fear leaving home and being away from my family. I can also get a little anxious about making new friends, because a few times a bully in my neighborhood tried to bite me.
Basia always gives me a pep talk and makes me feel at home and reassures me each time that it will be ok, and she is right!!!
I have stayed overnight with her many times and now it is my home away from home and I LOVE going there!!!
I give her 5 barks!"

"I'm Sam and I've been spending a couple of days a week with Marin Pet Care Pros since I was 10 months old. I'm two years old now and I loooooove my days with Basia!
People say I'm a sensitive pup, but Basia gets me. I'm a big guy and I love to play, but sometimes new things can be scary for me. It takes me a while to warm up, but that's ok because at MPCP all of the dogs can go at their own pace.
I love to run up and down the hill in Basia's yard, get my zoomies out with my friends and we even get treats. It's so much better than staying home with my cat brothers, and this way I stay out of mischief. I'm a cuddler and Basia gives good cuddles.
Basia tells my mom about things I need to practice, like how to take treats gently. I take a nap when I go to her house, but I'm still good and tired when I get home. I know the sound of Basia's van and I get SO excited when she pulls up in front of my house. And sometimes I even have sleep overs!"

"Hi, my name is Ace and I am a rambunctious almost 6 year old Labrador. People often ask my mom if I'm a puppy because I still have puppy energy, but I'm almost a teenager!
In any case, I have a lot of energy, but still like to snuggle with my canine buddies at naptime and after dinner.
That's why I love being at Basia's place. I get to chase balls (my favorite thing ever!), eat my meals in peace, and share a warm bed with my besties. Basia is super nice, but she also has rules which keep me in line."

"My name is Sammy. I am almost 7 years old and have been staying at MPCP when my parents travel since I was just a pup (10 weeks old).
My parents know how much I love MPCP because every time Basia picks me up, I come running to greet her (I am usually a little nervous around people).
There are always so many friends to play with at MPCP. My parents love the pictures and videos of me that they receive from Basia while they are away. They know that I am having a good time and am well cared for whenever I stay here.
This is a picture of me here in my element: surrounded by toys that I have just de-fluffed and with my pal, Cali!"

"To anyone who is looking for somewhere to go when your parents are working during the day or when they go out of town, I highly recommend Marin Pet Care Pros!
I’ve been going to Basia’s since I was a little pup and I LOVE BASIA. Every time I hear her at my door coming to pick me up, I know it’s going to be the best day ever!
I’ve met some of my bestest friends over at Basia’s, and I couldn’t think of a better place where I feel safe and loved. "

"I've been in Basia's care since I was 7 months old! I started going on group walks with her back then and also boarded with her. Later, when she changed her company name to Marin Pet Care Pros and added daycare to her offerings, I also became a daycare regular!
My parents say that they really value Basia's numerous strengths including (and I quote!):
1. She facilitates the dogs interactions.
2. She creates an atmosphere of play in her large backyard. The dogs have a lot of fun playing with one another and toys.
3. She takes wonderful photos of the dogs.
4. She is very skillful with managing her schedule. She is on time or she calls to say she's been delayed.
5. She is an excellent communicator. She responds rapidly to texts, emails and calls.
Well, I'm not going to argue with any of that because I wholeheartedly agree, ahwoo!"
