Maria was amazing! She was super nice and kept us updated the entire time with how our puppy was doing, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. She took great care of him, and we could tell he was in good hands. We really appreciate everything she did and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend! 🐶❤️

I always pick up a happy pup when Suki stays with Maria. I feel very comfortable leaving my girl in her care. :)

Maria and her family were incredibly welcoming and treated me like one of their own. My dog was in a safe, happy environment where he was well cared for, and I could tell he was loved during his stay. I highly recommend Maria for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. She’s awesome!

My backyard is secured with a 6ft fence. Your pet’s safety is my top priority at all times. I take great care to create a secure, pet-friendly environment—whether it’s in my home or yours. I closely follow any feeding, medication, or exercise routines you provide, and I’m always attentive to your pet’s behavior and comfort.

You can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring, capable hands.

Whether your dog enjoys a game of fetch, a calm stroll, or just some extra belly rubs, I’m here to make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and entertained. Your dog’s well-being and happiness are always my top priority!

Every dog is unique, and I want to make sure I meet their individual needs with the love and attention they deserve!
