i have been using Maryanne for some time now for my puppy, Ginger and I have to say that she is…read moreabsolutely a gem in Florence. We were of course a little nervous to leave her with someone we didn't know well but maryanne is as professional as they get and you can really tell that she loves dogs.
One thing I really appreciate is that she has a dog space in the oltrarno, with loads of beds, toys, each dog has their own locker and they are fed upon the schedule you wish. She asks a number of questions and even has a questionnaire to fill out before she meets you and your dog the first time.
Ginger (my beagle puppy) absolutely loves going to Maryanne's and playing with other dogs, there is no 'kennel' like atmosphere but just a happy place where they have room to roam in the historical center of florence.
Lastly, I find Maryanne's rates to be more than reasonable, and she also sends you photos and updates when you're away which I really appreciate! I highly recommend using her as your dog-sitter when in firenze
