“Maya is great with my own personal dog. Always super friendly and my dog can attest that she gives great belly rubs! Highly recommend Maya to anyone that asks.”


Doug A.Star Sitter
“Doug has watched my dog Cappy for several months. Doug has a special bond with Cappy and I’ve never seen my dog love anyone more than Doug, outside of my family, of course. I’d trust him with my dog every time— short or long stays. Doug is attentive to Cappy when he needs extra attention and he knows how to give dogs medication and follows very specific instructions. Doug takes Cappy on a walk every day!”
