I don’t leave my pup often so I was a bit nervous. Maria made sure to update me which made me feel very comfortable. I was able to enjoy my mini vacation knowing he was in good hands.

Bakari had a great time with Maria. He had a mini vacay while I was out of town. She took great care of him with updates and pictures. Would highly recommend and will book again when his next doggy vacay comes up.

I originally hired Maria to take my dog on walks, but she became so much more than that. She would greet Nani with a treat and would bring her back tired. She stayed for a while to ensure that Nani drank water and even would stay to brush her and play with her afterwards. Nani really seemed to love her so when I needed someone to petsit overnight I asked Maria and she did such a great job. Nani is no longer with us, but I am so happy she got to create a bond with Maria before she crossed the rainbow bridge.
