Maire was amazing with our senior boy! She sent regular updates, pictures and videos. Her senior pup who recently passed shared a lot of similarities with our Blue, so she knew exactly how to care for him, from walks and car rides to treats and toys. Would absolutely book with her again.

Maire is such a caring and dependable pet sitter! She has this amazing way of connecting with every dog she meets—even the shy or stubborn ones—and her patience and kindness really shine through. On top of that, she’s incredibly professional and reliable, which truly sets her apart. You can tell she loves what she does and treats every pet like her own. She’s thoughtful, consistent, and always goes the extra mile to make sure animals feel safe, happy, and loved. She’s a real find in the pet-sitting world!

Maire has been my trusted dog walker I dog sitter for almost a decade. She is absolutely wonderful with my dogs. It’s such a relief knowing my pup is in caring and capable hands, when I leave her with Maire. Maire truly goes above and beyond — reliable, kind, and clearly loves dogs! And the best part is my dogs LOVE Maire. If she takes my pup on a hike, she comes back tired and happy. If I leave her with Maire when I travel, I arrive home to a calm and happy pup.

I can’t recommend Maire enough! She has cared for our home, chickens, cats, and dogs more than ten times over the years, and every single time, she has gone above and beyond. She’s one of those rare people who is not only completely reliable and trustworthy, but genuinely loves and connects with animals. I always return to find our pets happy, our home spotless, and everything even better than when I left. She takes initiative, communicates clearly, and treats our animals like her own. It’s such a gift to travel knowing that everything at home is in the very best hands. Anyone lucky enough to have Maire's care for their pets will quickly see how special she is — truly one of a kind.

Maire is the best and comes with high reviews. She has been absolutely amazing with our dog Scout who is deaf and requires extra patience and care. From day one, she took the time to learn how to communicate effectively and make our dog feel safe and loved. Her kindness, consistency, and genuine affection for Scout is so appreciated. It’s such a relief knowing our pup is in such capable, caring hands. Truly exceptional service!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I have an open and flexible schedule to care for your pet either in your home or mine. I am active in the outdoors and since my senior passed away I am eager to spend time with any and all dogs!

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

I own my townhome and it is a very quite environment. I have experience with senior and special needs dogs and have lived in the valley for over 25 years.

A typical day

My favorite hiking partners are furry companions and I love teaching dogs tricks, playing games to stimulate their brains and providing a safe, comfortable environment for them at the end of each day.

My herding mutt rescue lived to be 14 yrs and had some challenging behaviors. I have a lot of experience and compassion for special needs, rescues and senior animals.
