We had a wonderful boarding experience with Maria! She took excellent care of our corgi while we were away, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. We loved that she has a doggy door, which gave the dogs easy access to the yard throughout the day. Our corgi also had a great time playing and socializing with the other friendly dogs in her home. Maria was kind, communicative, and clearly loves caring for dogs. We received updates during the stay, and it was obvious our corgi was happy and comfortable. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Maria again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable Rover dog boarding host!

My dogs LOVED Carmen. One watched world cup games and the other just followed her around. Carmen is such a kind soul. I just knew my dogs were in good hands. Will definitely be booking again when I need to.

María is truly amazing and it is clear to see from the very first moment you meet her, that she is warm, loving and caring. My two pups felt at home with María and went straight into her home without hesitation. That is truly a heart warming sign. It was clear to see when I picked them up that they had had a wonderful time. They came home happy and that is thanks to the care María provided for them. I recommend Maria without hesitation. Thank you and see you again soon!

At wake up time your baby will be going potty in the backyard if he/she doesn’t know how to use the doggy door. Around 10am there’s a potty break. I’m at home most of the time, either some short morning meetings at the office. I’m home all day but I have to pick up my daughter from school. Please arrange drop off or pick up time in advance
