Paws at Play

If you are looking for a comfortable and safe home setting with lots of room to run and play, then consider me to be your dog's sitter. Why have a stranger come into your house? Do you really know how much time they are spending with your pet? Are they servicing other customers at the same time too? Having your furbaby here with me means your privacy will be respected and protected. I will give them my undivided attention in my own personal space. I schedule only a limited group of small dogs--so they are carefully watched and catered. It give me immense pleasure to pamper them with cuddles and kisses. I understand that we all have different likes and needs, and I will do my best to accommodate your dog’s individual needs.

My dog had a nice time staying with Maria, she is very knowledgeable and experienced with handling your fur baby. She sent pictures and updates on how my baby was doing. It's hard leaving your fur baby for any period of time. But I wholeheartedly trust Maria with taking care of my boy. I highly recommend her!

Maria took such good care of my dogs and kept in contact with me regarding their stay. I will be using her again in the future

I boarded my Newfoundland with Maria for a week while on vacation. After our initial meet and greet I knew I could leave Bella without worry for that long (we hadn't been apart more than 2 nights before). Maria's large, fenced yard was plenty for my big girl to roam, & I received pics letting me know Bella's comfortable and doing good. I'll book with Maria again for sure.

Maria was our savior when my sitter had to cancel last minute and I’m so happy to have found her. Dax was well cared for in a safe and pleasant environment. We look forward to future stays!

We feel so much more comfortable now that joy has been at maria's house twice! She always gives us updates&pics, which puts us at ease. Joy has plenty of friends to play with and we don't have to worry about her being in a kennel/crate! Thanks again& see ya soon :)

Schedule

I recently moved to SC. I was on Rover for 14 years. In the past, I fostered rescue dogs and volunteer at the SPCA. Unlike my previous home, I will only take 1-2 small dogs here. Having your pets in my house allows me to give them ample time and attention. I have no other obligations or demands of my time . YOUR pet will have my full attention and care in the comfort of my home.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard. Dogs can go in and out from my patio deck. Since I retired, i spend alot of time im my new home. Sharing my home with your furbaby will bring us both much enjoyment. My house in on one level so its perfect for older or handicap dogs. They are allowed to sleep wherever they feel comfortable.

Pets

A typical day

The dogs enjoy exploring the yard and chasing each other in the open space. If allowed by the owner, I would enjoy walking your dog around my neighborhood, if possible.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Maria can host up to 2 pets per night
Please tell me of any special needs are requirements to make them comfortable. In the past I had dogs that needed insulin twice a day so I am comfortable giving meds to the dogs.
