My pup is always so excited to spend time with Maria. At this point, sleepovers at Maria’s are basically a five-star hotel stay 🐾⭐️

Thank you so much Maria for taking care of my 15 year old poddle. Elderly dogs have their own set of challenges and you were so kind to accept to babysit him for the weekend. Your pictures and updates were so reassuring and allowed me to have peace of mind the whole time I was away. I can't thank you enough. 💫💫💫💫💫

Maria was absolutely amazing. She was so accommodating and genuinely caring throughout Drogo’s stay. She also took some of the most beautiful photos of him : he looked so happy and at ease the entire time. It’s clear she treats every pup like her own. I highly recommend her. Professional, attentive, and truly wonderful.

Schedule

I have a lot of free time throughout the week, so I’m able to give your pets all the attention and care they need. Whether it's for daily walks, playtime, or just some extra cuddles, I can easily work around your pet’s schedule and make sure they feel loved and well-cared for every day. What can you expect from me? *Daily Updates*: I know how hard it is to be away from your pet, so I’ll send you photos and videos every day to show you how much fun they’re having. *Flexible Scheduling*: Life can be unpredictable, so I adapt to your schedule to make drop-off and pick-up as easy as possible. *Playtime* If your dog needs to burn off some energy, don’t worry—I’ll give them all the walks they need to stay happy and active.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, pets have a cozy, safe space with plenty of room to play and relax. I ensure a pet-proof environment with secure areas. I follow your routines closely, respect safety and trust are my top priorities, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friends are in good hands! When I'm boarding a dog, I usually avoid dog parks to keep things as safe and comfortable as possible. While dog parks can be fun, they can also be unpredictable with so many different dogs around. I find that one-on-one walks and playtime in a quieter setting are much better for making sure the dog feels happy and secure. This way, I can give them the attention they deserve while still making sure they have a great time! I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own, ensuring they’re happy, relaxed, and well-cared for. I’m here to give you both peace of mind!

A typical day

I’m excited to make each day special and enjoyable for your pet. If you have any specific activities or routines they love, just let me know, and I’ll make sure they’re included in our time together!
