Pet care experience

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.

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!

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!
