Ratings and reviews
José and Maria were absolutely awesome with Pongo!!!!! Pongo was the happiest he’s ever been. Playing around with other doggy friends, getting daily walks, and a beautiful garden to run around in :) They were so great with giving me updates on Pongo and I will definitely be back another time. It’s hard for me to trust anyone with Pongo but would definitely reach out to Maria and José again! Thank you both!!!
Our young Lab stayed here for two weeks during a family emergency. What a blessing this sanctuary was for the dog and our family. The dog was well loved and exercised, critical to Labs. She didn’t come home with extra weight on her, also critical. Maria and Jose were so supportive and loving and positive. We got pictures and videos that helped to lower our shoulders. We will be repeat customers for sure. A treasure of a place !
Maria took very great care of my two kittens when I was in need! She even sent me photos and videos of them! Thank you so much for your help, Maria.
Oscar had such a fantastic weekend with Maria and her family! He’s just a puppy and I was worried about him a lot while I was away but they sent plenty of reassuring messages, updates and photos. We’d definitely rebook with them down the line! Thank you again!
We had a great experience booking with Maria and our dogs Sunny and Karen were very well take care of. Would highly recommend!
The best of the best, I had to leave town and my schedule was all over the place . They looked after my dog with the upmost care and allowed me to extend on short notice. I truly appreciate their care

Schedule
Pet care is a central part of my daily life. Your dog will never be alone — there is always someone at home. My parents are permanently in the house, ensuring your pet always has company, supervision, and attentive care throughout the day. We intentionally structure our routine around the needs of each dog, from feeding and walks to playtime and rest. This allows us to provide a calm, consistent, and personalized experience where pets can truly feel at home. Our spacious backyard offers a safe and relaxed environment for outdoor time, without the stress of overcrowding or overstimulation. We take pride in offering more than just pet sitting — we provide a home where dogs feel comfortable, cared for, and genuinely loved.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I provide a calm, structured, and closely supervised environment where dogs can feel secure, relaxed, and genuinely at home. Pets are never left alone and are always under attentive supervision. I follow each owner’s instructions with care and precision, including feeding routines, walk schedules, and any specific needs. I also take time to understand each dog’s personality, energy level, and boundaries to ensure a smooth and stress-free experience. I’m especially mindful of dogs adjusting to a new environment, and I prioritize creating a peaceful, low-stress setting where they can settle comfortably. Our home offers plenty of indoor space for rest, along with a spacious backyard for safe and controlled outdoor time. For additional peace of mind, I’m happy to provide regular updates, including photos and messages, so you always know how your pet is doing. If I am caring for pets in a client’s home, I maintain their routine as closely as possible and treat both the home and the pet with the highest level of respect and responsibility. I approach every stay with patience, attention to detail, and a genuine commitment to providing a safe and high-quality experience.
A typical day
A typical day is centered around your dog’s comfort and happiness. Mornings start with a walk and feeding, followed by a mix of playtime, outdoor time in the backyard, and rest. I adjust the routine to each dog’s energy level, whether they need more activity or a calm, relaxed environment. Because someone is always home, your dog receives constant attention, supervision, and care throughout the day.
