Marie is fantastic. She always comes through. She's flexible and dependable. I trust her completely with my 2 young dogs and my house. Carol.
Marie is great with our dogs! They can be rambunctious, but do so well sensing her calm energy. She takes good care of house and animals when house sitting! Highly recommend Marie!
Our Fur Babies Love Marie and the care she gives them. She is simply wonderful and we are so thankful we found her!
Our two dogs love it when she comes to our house! She is excellent with them, very easy to work with and send photo updates! She is the best experience we have had with any dog service and will be using long into the future!
Great experience with Kite Hill Canines taking care of my animals and house while on vacation. Will use Marie again and enjoy the pics she sends along with regular updates on how they are when I'm away.
I connected originally with Marie fifteen or so years ago when she had her own dog-walking business in San Francisco, and we've remained working together ever since! She's a real godsend.
We've worked together for years and my only gripe is to lose her to the Pac Northwest! :) She still takes care of our animals here on the Mendocino Coast. She gives us peace of mind while we away, which is priceless. She is a true animal person and always has your pet's best interest in mind. She has amazing attention to detail and has been helpful over the years with other household projects. She is kind, knowledgeable, professional, punctual, and communicates promptly. Having someone you trust take care of your home and pets has been of paramount importance to us. Look no further than Marie. I cannot recommend her enough!
We left our dog Lulu with Marie for two nights while we were at the camp in the North Cascades and couldn't take her with us. It was a great experience all around. Marie texted and email us photos, went out of her way to meet up with us in a location closer to where we were camping, and took great care of Lulu! We would definitely take Lulu back. It was near the 4th of July and Lulu hates fireworks, and Marie let Lulu sleep in bed (spoiled dog, even better than home! :) ) and played her classical music to drown out the fireworks noise. Awwww...so sweet! Thanks, Marie, for taking great care of our furry friend!
Marie is great!
She did an exceptional job watching our three large dogs. Our pups looked so relaxed in the photo updates Marie sent along.

Marie stayed at our home with her cattle dogs. Our two senior dogs both had some medical issues in our absence and Marie went out of her way to assure their safety, comfort and well-being. We could not have asked for a kinder, more concerned, more competent individual to look after our "kids" while we were away. Her own two dogs are sweet and exceptionally well behaved, which in and of itself, gives you a realistic view of how your own dogs will fare under her care - very well to say the least. We highly recommend Marie.
Marie at Kite Hill Canines is nothing short of amazing! Our dog LOVES her! He comes home every day so tired from walking and playing that he can barely keep his eyes open. For a terrier like him, that's quite a feat! Marie is so personable, extremely flexible and cares so much about the dogs in her care. We trust her 100% with the most important thing in our lives- which says a lot. Our dog is so happy with his walks that it makes it more than worth it. Thanks Marie!
Marie, the owner of Kite Hill, is really great. My very shy and timid dog, Tilda, really seems to like Marie. My best friend was dog sitting Tilda few weeks ago and while she was taking Tilda on a walk she saw Marie in the park walking some other dogs. I guess Tilda was very happy to see Marie, and Tilda is only usually happy to see me. Tilda is more outgoing, enjoys playing fetch more, and really seems to come back happy after a day with Marie. Kite Hill has really great rates too, and I think that Tilda is usually gone longer than an hour, sometimes an hour and a half, so you certainly get a great deal for what you pay.
Marie has helped Rodi develop over his first year of life and she's the best. When Rodi gets home from his play group he hops onto his sofa and naps til dinner. I would make a recommendation for her services to anyone looking to have the best. Big Dogs, Little Dogs, Dogs that crap a lot, small dogs, fats dogs, even dogs, with liver spots. Maries Hot Dogs! are like Rock star dogs! We love her.

Marie is fantastic, and my dog absolutely loves her. She is reliable, totally professional, and is exceptionally flexible with scheduling. My wife and I cannot recommend her more highly.
Marie is a true animal lover. She gets them, and their individual personalities (quirks) and really enjoys what she does. For how much attention and time they get I'd expect to pay a lot more! I highly recommend her and if you're taking the time to really search out the person you can trust with your loved pups- this is the person you can trust.
