Doggy Day Care • Jun 14, 2026

Maria was wonderful. She is a great communicator and was right on time. She did an excellent job taking care of our dog including feeding her and taking her for a walk. I highly recommend Maria.

Boarding • Apr 20, 2026

My dog was very relaxed and happy with Maria. My dog's not snuggly but he snuggled up with Maria. Maria sent me photo updates of my dogs every day. She also monitored my dog's potty situation and offered to prepare and feed rice and pumpkin when my dog had diarrhea. She took my last minute boarding request and was very kind and responsive throughout.
