Maria was amazing with Lola! Lola looked like she was having the best time while I was away. Someone was always cuddling her and I appreciated all the updates that were given each day I was gone. Will absolutely be using her again!

Maria was so patient with my dogs anxiety’s that she had the first several days of a week long stay. Hope to use her again!

Maria was awesome. This was my first time leaving Smokey with someone. She kept me updated with texts, pics and videos. I will definitely be using her again.

I have known Maria for over 3.5 years and we share a love of our pets and other animals. She has cats and a dog that she loves dearly. I would trust her with my dog any day, and she has trusted me with hers. She make sure her pets are loved and their needs are always met. She is responsible and kind hearted. She would make a great worker with Rover.

Safety, trust & environment

I have one large-breed dog who is a gentle giant. I also have two cats. My dog interacts well with cats but normally avoids them. I have experience with crate trained dogs. I also have plenty of play places for cats.

A typical day

I love doggos that play fetch! But if that's not their thing, we can still have fun in our big backyard. We have a quiet street and plenty of land to explore if your pet needs a walk.
