I've had Maria watch my bull terrier. He is a handful.lbsnd she knows how to deal with him. Knowing he's not in a big boarding facility and feeling like I didn't abandon him makes me know he's happy. She makes her own dog treats and great fenced in yard. Just like my home ?

Maria lives on a quiet street with a fenced in yard. She provided great service and prompt responses, both before and during my dog's stay with her. Drop-off was chaotic because of other dogs in the home, but otherwise, no complaints. I would use Maria's services again.

As a dog owner of 3 big dogs, I would highly recommend Maria to anyone who is looking for a sitter. She has sat with my own dogs on several occasions, and I trust her completely. Whether it is at your home or at her home, you can feel totally relaxed, knowing that your beloved pet is in excellent and loving care.

Maria's does a fine job, with canines. She had an amazing skill. I trust her with my family "pets" and you should too. Worth every penny.
