Pet care experience
Two Nurses 4 Paws
Hi there! We’re Jake and Maria, a husband-and-wife team of lifelong dog owners and registered nurses. We’ve both spent our entire lives around dogs of all breeds and personalities — from energetic puppies to mellow seniors. As nurses, we’re detail-oriented, reliable, and calm under pressure — qualities that carry over perfectly into pet care. Whether your dog needs a walking buddy, or just some extra love and attention while you’re away, we’ll treat them like one of our own. We currently are the pet parents to two very active and sweet rescue pups, Roy and Annabelle. We also have experience with caring for dogs with medical needs and senior care as our first dog together, Shawn, crossed over the rainbow bridge in the fall of 2024 after 11 years with us. Please note our overnight rate includes walks.

Safety, trust & environment
As lifelong dog owners and medical professionals, we bring both compassion and reliability to pet care. We know how important trust and communication are — we’ll send regular updates, photos, and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring hands. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always our top priorities. We will be able to provide care directly in your home where your pet is most familiar and comfortable. We are also home owners ourselves and will be very respectful of your home and space.
Ratings and reviews
We had a great experience with our sitters! They were very communicative, sent lots of pictures of Abby, and even shoveled when it snowed. They truly went above and beyond, and we would highly recommend them!
Excellent visit! Maria and Jake came yo meet the pups o prior to the booked date. Very sweet with my pups Time to play fetch with my pup. They Fed our dogs and let them out. I highly recommend.!
Thanks for being awesome and responsive! Jake is a calm experienced dog handler that was able to handle Phoenix and Sundae’s energy!
I have known Maria and Jake for years. Both Maria and Jake have been life long dog owners and adore their rescue dogs (and really any dog they meet)! They are also very organized and do a great job of prioritizing their dogs’ needs with their other responsibilities. Maria also volunteered in high school at the Wilton Humane Society. They are comfortable with dogs with various needs and age ranges. Your pet will be in the best of hands!
I was referred to this service through a family member and I have been very happy. They are responsible, caring, pet sitters. My dogs and cat are very happy too! Since both of them are nurses, they can provide needed medical care that my senior cat needed, including medication administration. I didn’t have to worry that it was going to be missed while I was away. Highly recommend this service.

Schedule
While not available during weekdays, due to our work schedules, we would be happy to provide evening walks on weekdays, and overnight care and walking services on weekends, holidays, and school break time. We coordinate our shifts so that dogs are never left alone for long periods. This makes us a great fit for pets who prefer extra companionship or need more frequent potty breaks and attention.
