Pet care experience

Will take care of ur fur as mine 🫰

I started taking care of my friends' dogs and cats when they used to go traveling. I realized with time that animals help me relax and love nature more, and that's why I want to continue doing that.

Maria and her husband are just LOVELY! You can tell they have that "I love dogs" energy. They took amazing care of my big girl Ruby, including accommodating her crazy snoring. Lots of pics and plenty of communication. Would 100 use Maria again. Thank you!!

Maria handled my 11 y/o Chihuahua with so much love and care! She was highly responsive, provided regular updates, and did an incredible job following my pup's routine. My dog is very reactive to other dogs, and Maria assured me she'd take Pippa to quieter parts of her neighborhood, which I greatly appreciated. She did such a wonderful job giving me peace of mind regarding my dog's needs. When I came back from my weekend trip, I picked up a very happy puppy! Will definitely rebook in the future.
