Pet care experience

Looking for a loving home away from home for your furry friend in Charlotte? Look no further! I'm Maria, an animal enthusiast with a lifetime of experience caring for pets. From volunteering at shelters to working in an animal hospital, my passion for animals shines through in everything I do. Here's what makes my pet care special: Cozy In-Home Boarding & Daycare: Your pet becomes part of the family during their stay, enjoying playtime in my secure backyard (complete with a doggie pool!), cuddling on the couch, and receiving tons of love and attention (24/7, of course!). Personalized Care: Every pet is unique! I cater to their individual needs, from administering medications to respecting special food preferences. Peace of Mind Updates: Never worry about your fur baby! I'll send you daily photo updates via the Rover app or schedule video calls so you can see their happy, playful face. Looking for more? I also offer: Stress-Free Grooming: Appointments available for a pampered pooch experience. Convenient Pick-Up/Drop-Off: Skip the hassle with my flexible taxi service for your pet. Errands with a Wag: Need pet food picked up or a vet visit handled? I've got you covered! Book a Free Meet & Greet! Let's chat and see if we're a good fit! I'm confident your pet will love their stay with their new Charlotte auntie. P.S. For the safety of all my furry guests, please ensure your pet is up-to-date on flea/tick prevention, vaccines, and deworming.

Maria was phenomenal. Roman is a high drive dog(Belgian Malinois) that needs constant movement and she handled him amazingly. As I was dropping him off to her and he ran right to her with excitement, which doesn’t always happen. I will certainly be booking her again. She’s incredible.

Maria was great with the dogs. She would send picture every time she would go to my house to take out the dogs. My dogs loved her. She kept them fed, their water bowls full, and even gave my dog her prescription medication on time everyday.
