Pet care experience

I treat your pup like family!

I've had pet dogs (I call them my kids!) and fostered dogs for the past 30yrs. I love the high energy puppies and the seriously lazy seniors. Our dogs are not our pets, they are part of our family! I’ll treat your pet as if it was one of mine. I’ll send frequent updates and spoil them rotten while you are away.

Maria is the best! She loves my girls and takes good care of them. She sends pictures so I can see how happy they are in real time. I give her a 10! She’s worth every penny!

Great experience. Came home to a happy, healthy pup, and we're so grateful to Maria for caring for our Harrison.

I am a returning client, many times over. Maria is wonderful to my dogs, is reliable and responsible, and leaves my place always immaculate. I can leave my home and pets without ever worrying about them, which is a wonderful feeling! I absolutely recommend her.

Happy with Maria sitting with our puppy Sophie. I liked that Maria took and sent pictures. I would hire her again. ❤️

Please let me know what would help your pup feel most at home while you are away - specific snacks, certain toys (balls or stuffed animals or squeaky toys)? I want your pet to feel as comfortable as possible while you are out.
