Maria and Matthew are the absolute best. I was kept up to date on Rufus and Maxx via text, videos and pictures. It gave me such peace knowing my babies were with a family that truly cares.

Second time leaving Jeff with Matthew and Maria and they truly take care of him as if he were their own. Jeff is on his own mini vacation when with them! My favorite sitters!!!

Cassie had a great time during this stay! Lots of walks, play time, and snuggles. She was very well taken care of and we received many pictures/videos over the two weeks. We would highly recommend and will plan to book with Maria and Matthew again in the future!

Safety, trust & environment

Our home is calm, clean, and pet-friendly. We have a fully fenced yard with cameras so dogs can play safely, and we’re always close by keeping an eye on them. If a pet needs their own space to feel comfortable, we have a separate area ready for that. We make sure every pet feels secure, relaxed, and cared for during their stay.

Pets

A typical day

Our days are pretty relaxed. We start outside in the fenced yard so they can sniff around, play, and ease into the day. In the afternoon we go for a 30-minute walk, and depending on the dog’s energy, we also take them to the dog park so they can burn energy and socialize. Meals are given exactly on the schedule you tell me. During the day they hang out with us, play with toys, or nap wherever they feel comfortable. We let them choose their favorite spot, and most of them end up sleeping on our couches. They get attention and affection all day so they feel safe, calm, and at home.

Before the stay, I like to know their routine, how they eat, what they enjoy, and anything that makes them feel comfortable. It also helps if you tell me about any meds, health needs, or little quirks they might have, like being nervous with new dogs or not liking loud noises. The more I know, the easier it is for me to keep their routine and make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and happy while they’re here.
