Maria was fantastic. It was the first time boarding for our dog, and Maria made sure everything went smoothly - he had a great time, loved the engagement with the other dogs (I think he's more social with other dogs in the park now than before his week with her 😂), and came back a very, very happy boy. It's clear she knows and understands what's required to put dogs at ease in a new environment and with new playmates, which was awesome. It was extremely hot during our dog's stay with her (he's 37kg and black with thick German Shepard fur, so can get pretty hot) but Maria is more than prepared for such things! Her setup gives dogs plenty of outdoor time, including access to a paddle pool at all times during the heat, which was perfect. I'm sure she faces down other (weather-related) challenges equally well. Maria kept us updated through our dog's stay with pictures and updates, and was very responsive both before and during our stay. 5/5 - would love to have her look after our boy again in the future if she'll have him!

Maria was an amazing sitter for our three pooches. She clearly loves and is very experienced with animals. She also kept us updated with lots of photos, so we could see just how great a time they were all having. We would definitely send the doggies to stay with Maria again in the future!
