Hired Maia again for another weekend of house sitting. Very responsible and respectful of taking care of the house and the pup. My puppy gives her 5 paws! Thank you Maia, I won't need to ever hire any one else!

Maia was wonderful! She was communicative, responsible, and very professional. My puppy took to her very well. She even took him on a little adventure, which he sorely needed. As long as Maia is available I think I will continuously book her for house/dog sitting.
