My two German Shepherds are a handful. We were so glad to meet Maria and Isaiah and see how they handled themselves and interacted with our dogs during the meet and greet. It was such a relief to find someone who could handle a more challenging engagement with calm, measured care.

Maria is fantastic. She watched Argo for a week and took great care of him. She was flexible on timing, easy to reach, gave him his medication, and sent regular updates. He’s a high energy puppy, so I was relieved someone who appreciated his playfulness was able to watch him while I was out of town.

My husband and I couldn't have been more pleased with the exceptional care that Maria gave to our elderly dog, Kona, while we were away for 4 nights. We greatly appreciated the daily updates, pictures, and videos Maria provided to us. We highly recommend Maria to care for your furry family member!

My dog caught kennel cough right before I was due to leave on a work trip, forcing me to scramble for alternate care. I took a chance on Rover and was lucky enough to find Maria. She took great care of my dog. Maria hand-fed my dog so that he didn't take antibiotics on an empty stomach and sent daily updates. My dog came home happy and healthy.
