IT ALL STARTED WITH SIX DOGS

The story behind D&M Spettacular

My name is Marlene, and D&M Spettacular was born from something that has been part of my life since I was a little girl: my love for dogs.

My mom taught me that dogs are family — to love them, care for them, and always make them feel safe. That love stayed with me throughout my life, and eventually, my own family grew into a pack of six: two German Shepherds, Coco, Luna, Mia, and Gus. ❤️🐾

Inspired by Personal Devotion

With six dogs, I quickly realized how difficult it was to find a place where they could all stay together, feel comfortable, and be truly cared for while I was away. I didn’t want a kennel. I wanted something that felt more like home — with space to play, room to relax, and people who genuinely love dogs. ❤️🐾

That idea started in my own backyard, where I began caring for dogs as a pet sitter. My little guests played with my dogs, slept in our beds, and sometimes didn’t even want to go home!

That’s when I met Tati, an amazing groomer who, over time, became a great friend. We quickly discovered that we shared something very special: an unconditional love for dogs. Her little Honey stole my heart from the very beginning and became Coco’s best friend. With Tati, I found someone I could truly trust, knowing my six pups were in the best hands, surrounded by love and care. ❤️🐾

From that friendship, that need, and a dream that started in my own backyard, D&M Spettacular Luxury Pet Hotel & Country Resort was born

TWO HEARTS, ONE DREAM

We created D&M for all those dog parents who, just like me, want to travel with peace of mind, knowing their pups are happy, safe, and surrounded by love.

Because to us, they’re not just guests.
They’re part of our family while they’re here.
