Wagging Tails & Peace of Mind

Pet care experience

Let us love your pups like they were our own! We have two dogs of our own, and plenty of love and space for a few more! As a doula, nanny & pet sitter for over 15 years, parents have trusted their children with me---and since dogs are just furrier kids, you can have peace of mind your fur babies are in excellent hands. They will enjoy plenty of time running around in our large, private, fenced yard, long walks (and hikes in the Fells!), endless snuggles, trips to the beach and park, and grooming if necessary. I also provide pick-up and drop off services for an additional fee. As each dog is an individual, we pay close attention to behaviors and animal body language to tell us that your pet is comfortable and relaxed. We take great care with indroductions and socialization, and want to extend any training or scheduling setting you established into their stay with us. Our main goal is to ensure that their staycation with us is a happy, stress-free time for Pets and owners alike. I am self employed and work from home most days days a week. Brent, my husband and I work as a Rover team, providing double the attention and care, and most importantly we truly enjoy our time being with your pet. Your pets are never left alone for long periods of time. All of our furniture is pet friendly, so your pup can feel right at home. We will provide plenty of pictures and updates during their stay, as we know how much a dog can be missed, even if it's only for a few days. We just ask all dogs are housebroken (including territorial marking), Socialized for being with other dogs, and have experience being around children. We love having animals in our home and would love to host yours. I can't wait to hear from you, and help with all your pet care needs! *the "xx% of clients receive photos" is only a representation of photos sent through Rover, and not Via text messages which clients often prefer. You WILL get pictures, promise!*

We got stuck at the airport. Airline cancelled our flight and don’t rebook us. We needed to extend our dogs stay.Maria was a blessing as she told to focus on getting home. Our dog was fine. Would highly recommend.

Maria was amazing with our two dogs! She treated them like her own and maybe even spoiled them a little ;). We felt so comfortable having them with her and could tell they had a great time. One of our dogs even got a couple of bonus baths! She was also very flexible with timing when we needed to change our pickup time. We would absolutely leave our dogs with Maria again and we feel really lucky to have found her!
