Paws at Play

EVERYBODY’S BARKING ABOUT IT!! If you are looking for a comfortable home setting with lots of room to run and play, then consider me to be your dog's sitter while you are away. I am retired and will be able to give your furkid my full attention. I schedule only a limited group of small dogs--so they are carefully watched and catered. It give me immense pleasure to see them happy and playful. I enjoy throwing the ball or taking them for a walk. My canine assistant, Keira and I will fill your dog's day with one on one care and lots of fun. We understand that we all have different likes and needs, and do our best to accommodate your dog’s individual personality. Every customer receives multiple photos of their dog relaxing or playing during there stay here but not always via the Rover site. All dogs must be either spayed/neutered.

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. The obvious reasons being the weather and proximity to the beach. 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. My house in on one level so its perfect for older or handicap dogs.

Pets

A typical day

The dogs enjoy exploring the yard and chasing each other in the open space. I like to walk small dogs or older dogs that can't play in the yard around my neighborhood.

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.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
