Information Maria C. would like to know about your pet

Before watching your furry family member, I would like to know about his/her temperament, how they are with cats and how they interact with young children.

A typical day

When your dog is staying with us, they will be spoiled with lots of love, outdoor play and walks. Weather permitting, we may also go to a dog park!

Pet care experience

We are a young family of 5 that includes myself (Maria), my husband Jon, 10 year daughter Jude, 7 year old daughter Norah and 1 year old son. We love and care for dogs of all shapes and sizes :) we're an active, adventurous family that would love to take care of your furry family members. Some of our hobbies are walking, playing at parks/exploring the outdoors and hiking, and we would love to bring your dogs along with us. While your dogs are with me they will enjoy lots of time outdoors, play time with my kids and I, any grooming if necessary, play time with other friendly dogs(if appropriate), and lots and lots of cuddling! I have a very flexible schedule and am available any day of the week between 9:40am and 2:30 pm for dog walks, park trips and drop-in visits. I am also available for overnight stays at my house every day of the week!

We’re so grateful she was able to help us out last minute with walking our dog Benson. She was incredibly friendly, easy to communicate with, and very reliable. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing Benson was in good hands. We really appreciated her flexibility and kindness and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to help with their pup!

Maria and her family were wonderful with our Dorothy! Despite being a last minute booking and a first time stay, Maria took great care of our precious dog and left her happy and excited when we picked her up. We would not hesitate to book a stay with Maria and her family again!

We loved having Maria and her children walk our Noe. They spent so much time with her, and she was a very happy pup:) I had an unexpected plan change, and Maria was so gracious and flexible too. I will definitely have Maria walk Noelle again!
