Dog-loving Family!

Hi! We’re a dog-loving family of four with a sweet 3-year-old Wirehaired Pointer who keeps us on our toes and brings joy to our everyday life. We believe dogs are family, and that’s exactly how we’ll treat yours—like one of our own. Whether it’s daily walks around the neighborhood, weekend hikes in the mountains, or exploring dog-friendly spots around town, we love being active and including our furry companions in everything we do. Our home is calm, kid-friendly, and full of love—and your pup will enjoy plenty of playtime, cuddles, and fresh air. We know how important it is to find someone you trust with your dog, and we’re here to give you peace of mind, updates, and plenty of tail wags. We can’t wait to meet your pup and welcome them into our pack!

Maria was super sweet and patient with our senior dog and nervous rescue dog. She gave them extra care and attention that not everyone does. I'd give her more stars if I could :)

Maria has watched our puppy as well as our 2 cats. She’s communicative, sends pictures of the animals and goes above and beyond for them. Would recommend her 10 times out of 10

Maria and her family took excellent care of my dog while I was away. They were kind, attentive, and made sure he got plenty of exercise with long walks. I could tell he felt right at home and truly enjoyed his time with them. Highly recommend.

Maria was awesome with my chocolate lab! She sent updates and photos and consistently kept me informed throughout the process. Couldn’t recommend her enough!
