Pet care experience
Maria's Doggie Retreat
Wouldn't you rather have your dog in a dog-loving home every day instead of a commercial doggie daycare? With dog beds or couches instead of crates? I have lived with dogs most of my life and with cats for 35 years. I have fostered or rescued many animals. I can give personal attention to puppy "potty" training too! - found cat at side of road who had been shot with BBs. Took him to vet to have 33 BBs removed. Unfortunately he lost both eyes but was quickly adopted and is enjoying his life and even catching flies! - rescued little dog that was chasing a bike down a busy street. I was able to find her family and return her safely. - I found an injured bat and took him to Willowbrook for care. I love animals and I will take good care of yours! I am very comfortable with all types of animals. We spend a lot of time outdoors in our huge backyard, weather permitting. Play time is all day as I don't leave them alone but am always there to supervise. Because we also have cats, visiting dogs must be able to safely interact or ignore cats. Tiny dogs, very large dogs and everyone in between are welcome! I am available for doggie daycare and boarding. I feed my dogs ground beef and rice or chicken and rice. If you are interested in having me provide meals, please let me know during meet & greet.

Ratings and reviews
Maria took great care of our pup Nash. He enjoyed the yard and company. She gave great updates and had great communication.
Maria is amazing! She took great care of my Kaja who is partially disabled and very picky eater. Highly recommend to everyone. She is true dog lover! She was sending me pictures every day!
Maria did a great job but what i appreciated was administering my guy's medicine and most of all staying up late to hand off my dog when my flight was badly delayed. Thanks again Maria
Maria was an exceptional host! Kobe spent a very happy time with all the other dogs that Maria was taking care of! She provided constant daily feedback and pictures. We will return back to her for sure if we need to leave our dog again!
Maria was great!
Maria was great with our 2yo goldendoodle. She sent videos and pictures everyday and was very communicative. Highly recommend Maria!

Schedule
My schedule is very open and I am always with the dogs, supervising. To ensure their safety, they will never be left at home alone

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your dogs will have the whole house to roam, just as my dogs do. They will have a fully fenced yard in which to run and beds or sofas or dog beds from which to choose for sleeping
Pets
A typical day
We are outside most of the day so dogs in my care go home tired and happy! The dogs are my focus throughout the day. When I use dogsitters for my dogs, it is very important to me to know that someone is with the dogs and not away from the home for hours at a time, so I want to assure potential guests and their pet parents that they will have constant attention.
