Information Maria G. would like to know about your pet

Please let us know about your dog’s daily routine, feeding schedule, medications, allergies, favorite activities, and any behaviors or anxieties we should be aware of. The more we know before their stay, the better we can make them feel safe, comfortable, and at home. We also appreciate knowing how they interact with other dogs and whether there are any commands or routines you’d like us to follow.

A typical day

Your dog will enjoy a relaxed and structured day filled with love and attention. We’ll start with a morning walk, followed by playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of time to relax. Throughout the day, we’ll adapt activities to your dog’s energy level, whether that’s exploring the neighborhood, playing with toys, practicing basic commands, or simply enjoying cuddles on the couch. You’ll also receive regular photo updates so you can see how much fun they’re having.

A calm, loving home away from home

Pet care experience

I’ve loved dogs my entire life and cared for my own dog for over 10 years, who was a beloved member of my family until 2023. Growing up with dogs taught me the importance of patience, routine, and understanding that every dog has a unique personality. Today, together with my husband, Fede, we provide a calm, loving home where every dog receives personalized care, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. Since I work from home most days and Fede has a flexible schedule, dogs are rarely left alone and always receive the attention they deserve. We treat every dog as if they were our own and carefully follow each owner’s routine, preferences, and instructions so they feel safe, comfortable, and truly at home during their stay. To provide the best possible experience, we welcome only one family’s dog(s) at a time, allowing us to give them our full attention and truly personalized care.

Maria was GREAT with Cookie. I was worried at first since my pup does like other animals. Maria was so accommodating for a quick reservation when my first rover cancelled. Plus she goes the extra mile to make sure my pup was well fed and spoiled. Thank you ❤️

Maria was wonderful with our senior boy, Baxter! It can be difficult to find the right fit for a dog with special needs, but Maria was very understanding and caring. She opened her home to us to do a pre-stay meet and greet, provided regular updates (and photos), and asked questions to make sure they kept Baxter as comfortable and in his routine as possible. It was obvious when we picked him up that he was happy and spoiled while we were gone and Maria will be our first choice the next time we need care for Baxter.

She is great! We had our puppy pampered for a week while we were enjoying our family trip. I am already talking with her about our next time we are away from town. I definitely recommend her!
