Maria was very responsive and provided a lot of daily updates, which we loved. We could tell Mia had a great time with her and her son. Highly recommended!

Leaving Stella with Maria was like leaving her with family. In fact, Stella was a bit spoiled! We received happy pictures every day. I highly recommend Maria if you want to feel wonderful about leaving your baby!!

Maria was excellent with our baby and always kept him playing and happy. She was flexible with our pick up/drop off times and sent us updates a few times a day. Thank you!

Schedule

I work from home, and so does my husband, so there’s almost always someone at home. We love going for walks and there is a beautiful park nearby with lots of squirrels and ducks.

We have a 5-year-old who loves dogs. He likes walking them and playing fetch. The dogs often hang out with me when I work in my office or the candle studio.

Let me know if your dog has certain preferences or special needs. Do they have experience with kids? How are they with other dogs on walks? Do they prefer to sleep in the bed? They are welcome in the bed but I prefer dogs that give us some space rather than try to take over the whole bed.
