Information Maria C. would like to know about your pet

Does your dog bark, and if so, when? Does your dog need any medications, whether oral or injectable? I have experience with both, including eye drops. Thanks!

Depending on your pets needs, I have a fenced in backyard and can also take them for walks around the block. I also have a basket full of toys for their enjoyment.

Great experience with Maria! Kona was well cared for and Maria kept us informed as needed throughout her stay.

Louie was a happy camper! He felt right at home and at ease with Maria. Great communication as well.

I am **totally** happy with the service Maria provided to my dog Tigger. Tigger is on the nervous side (he's a 13 year old chihuahua), and I've never boarded him before so I was very careful before choosing Maria to take care of him while I was away. We had a meet and greet, which went very well. Maria is very caring and very much of aware of the needs of dogs. While I was gone, she reported on how he was doing, including his eating, meds, and peeing/pooping schedule, and she sent me photos of Tigger. I would definitely go to Maria again to take care of my dog.

After our meet and greet with Maria, the day of drop off my dog seemed pretty excited as we pulled up. Maria took great care of my dog and I felt comfortable leaving her in Maria’s care.
