Maria was always quick to respond and very accommodating to Moose's needs. I feel confident with Maria hosting Moose again in the future!

Maria was wonderful. She took great care in watching mittens and mono; and keep home safe. I only hope i she will come b back in the future if needed. The best part was that she kept me informed and sent me pictures of the kitties.

I highly recommend Maria as a pet caregiver! She is reliable, communicative, attentive, and our dog loved her immediately. Maria took excellent care of our dog and made sure he felt at home. You can trust her to provide a safe, loving environment and to keep you updated every step of the way. My dog loved staying with her and enjoying time outdoors.

Maria is a wonderfully responsible and loving pet caregiver. She’s attentive, reliable, and truly always goes above and beyond to make sure our pups are safe, happy, and well cared for. Our 2 dogs are very high energy, and she handles them with incredible patience and care, always making sure they get the exercise, stimulation, and affection they need. They absolutely adore her and we can’t recommend her enough!

Safety, trust & environment

I have two friendly dogs who will help your pup feel right at home. With miles of trails, and an indoor play arena, there's plenty of exercise and adventure. But when it's time to relax, your dog can unwind on their own floor of the house with a cozy bed, a crate or a couch to lounge on or simply hang out with us. Whatever they prefer, I'll make sure they feel comfortable and loved.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day begins with a fun walk down to my spacious indoor play arena, where we'll play ball, chase toys, or just zoom around to burn off some energy. If your pup prefers the great outdoors, we can opt for a peaceful nature hike around the property, with a chance to cool off in my pond or dog-friendly pool. For more laid-back or senior dogs, a gentle stroll followed by cozy cuddle time might be the perfect way to spend the day. Every day your dog spends with me is tailored to their unique personality, energy level and preferences - because they deserve nothing less.
