Paws at Play

Pet care experience

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 small group of 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 is a wonderful sitter! Truly loves our 2 Australian Shepherds. A great back yard for play. Maria sent us pics of the dogs while we were away which I enjoy!

This is the first time our pup Bella had to stay with someone, so separation anxiety was a huge concern for us. When we dropped Bella off, she was so scared, but she quickly adapted to Maria who was fabulous with her. Maria kept in contact sending photos and updates as to how she was doing. When we picked Bella up, it was obvious that she had made a new friend in Maria. I would not hesitate to contact Maria again for our next vacation. She is wonderful!

Great experience as always. Maria is flexible and we feel safe leaving Molly with her. That’s priceless.

Dutch had a wonderful time with Maria. She got to play with a couple of other doggies, something she does not have at her home. I received pics while away and update on her eating habit. Will use Maria again!

Information Maria C. would like to know about your pet

Please tell me of any special needs are requirements to make them comfortable. I do not accept certain breeds (i.e., pit, doberman, rottie). In the past I had a dog that needed insulin twice a day so I am comfortable giving meds to the dogs.

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.
