Our doberman had a great time! Maria is very friendly and responsive and sends great pics of the pups having fun. They have a really nice yard for the dogs to play. Highly recommend!

Doggy Day Care • Sep 19, 2025

Sake enjoyed her doggie daycare visit to see Maria and her fun loving Frenchies.. She kept busy looking for the beloved chiipmunk in the backyard, played with all her pup mates and cooled off inside. She will miss playing with Coco and how’s she gets better soon

Mushu had the time of his life! Maria tended to our pup very carefully, and was attentive to his needs. We’d recommend her for any boarding needs.

Doggy Day Care • Aug 31, 2025

Sake always shows excitement when she visits Maria during doggie daycare. Sake seems to fit right in hanging out with all the pups for a fun day. Her newest adventure is trying to find/chase a chipmunk that frequents the backyard. I see funny videos of her looking for the chipmunk. Sake also has time to rest/nap/play inside, as well. She is in great hands every single time I drop her off with Maria and the Frenchie family.

Doggy Day Care • Aug 20, 2025

We had such a wonderful experience with Maria as our dog sitter! This was our first time using her, and we weren’t sure how it would go with our 6-month-old puppy, Leo—but she exceeded every expectation. Maria was incredibly attentive and caring, keeping us updated throughout the day with photos and videos. It was clear she was completely engaged and that Leo was having a fantastic time. She also had a couple of other dogs in her care, and from the pictures and videos she shared, everyone looked like they were having a blast together. Her constant communication gave us peace of mind so we could fully enjoy our function knowing Leo was in the best hands. We highly recommend Maria to anyone looking for a sitter who truly loves and cares for the dogs she watches. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large fenced-in backyard and a pack of three dogs to welcome your pups. I have Furbo cameras in the home. My home has two floors and I can provide separation on the gated first floor if your dog needs a break. All of my dogs are crate trained. All dogs that stay at my place have to be crate trained for everyone’s safety at night.

Pets

A typical day

We have a lot of outdoor time. I do fun activities with the dogs depending on their interests. We play fetch, play with the flirt pole, play tug, and they get plenty of time playing with my pack or other dogs that are staying. I also have a doggy pool I put out on warm summer days.

Please let me know if your dogs have any special needs. Let me know which medications they take or if there are any allergies. If you have a puppy going through potty training, it is important that they are doing crate training in order to potty train. Is your dog an escape artists? Do they like to be handled if I need to pick them up or redirect them? Do they have any sound sensitivities to thunderstorms or other loud noises on holidays? Does your dog resource guard food, toys, or furniture?
