Pet care experience

Sense of security with some play!

Fur babies are family! They need love and patience. Growing up I had a Pekingese for 13 years and then a poodle mix for 12 years. So I learned at an early age the responsibility of caring for the family pet. My first adult pet was a mini lob rabbit which I had for 10 years. It had some medical issues in which required regular care from the local vet. A few years ago I was introduced to Great Danes and immediately fell in love! Zoe, my twelve year old Dane lived her best life. She went to parks, family gatherings, car rides, camping. She passed away last year at the age of 12 1/2. I am not ready for another pet just yet and now that I have some free time I would love to give others the sense of security by playing, loving and caring for their pet.

Maida was wonderful with our dog and cat. She was great at communication and kept us updated! It was great knowing our babies were in great hands. We will definitely use Maida again!

Maida made us feel so comfortable leaving Saoirse. She was aware of our dog’s challenges and adjusted to them easily. I know our dog enjoyed her vacation as well!

Bailey thoroughly enjoyed her stay with Maida! I appreciated the regular updates and excellent communication. Maida took great care of Bailey, and I couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter. Highly recommend!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Maida!! From the very beginning, she made us feel completely comfortable leaving our pups in her care. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. She stayed at our home with our pups and sent me updates the whole time and kept everything super clean as well! I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!
