Loving Care for Every Pet <3

I have so much love to give for your pet! I live by great walking trails and a dog park which is perfect for playing! I love all pets, with all their unique personality’s; shy, quiet, or loud and playful! I keep toys, food bowls, and treats regularly stocked at my place :) I’ll send lots of pictures! My husband Joe helps me make sure every pet I take in is spoiled to the max! If I don’t respond immediately, I am most likely giving love to another pup, and I will certainly get back to you as soon as possible!

Maria and Joe were great with Bob! They sent daily updates with pictures… Bob looked very happy on his walks and comfortable resting afterwards.

Maria and Joe were great with our boy Jax. We felt very comfortable leaving him in thier care. They bonded quickly and Jax received lots of love and pets. Maria sent us updates and photos on how Jax was doing. We would definitely recommend them and will be using them again.

Maria was absolutely awesome! I had an unexpected family emergency come up and she was able to accommodate Arwen in a short amount of time. She provided plenty of pictures and updates of Arwen during the time she spent with her. I would absolutely trust her with Arwen again!

Maria was wonderful. She updated us everyday of our 10 day trip. Blue had an “injury” from rough play at his doggie daycare, prior to us dropping him off at Maria’s for our trip. As the scabs were flaking off, she kept us informed and even got medicated ointment to apply. I highly recommend Maria and her husband. We have another long trip coming up in a few months and plan to book with her for that trip once we have our dates confirmed.

Maria and her husband were great with my 75lb. Husky/Shepard mix! She worked with me last minute when I was in a bind and was an absolute gem!!

Although it was a short trial visit, my husband, I and Jax felt comfortable with Maria and Joe. We felt Jax was being well cared for, we received updates and pics and we will definitely be booking again.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets I focus on making them feel safe and comfortable. I follow each pet’s routine as instructed, including special preferences or instructions. In a client’s home, I always keep the environment clean, calm, and consistent. I make sure your pet feels happy in their familiar space and give them plenty of love and interaction. I also provide regular updates and photos so you always know how they’re doing. :)

A typical day

My day varies based on your pets needs. I’m available for walks, playtime, and tricks for treats! Plus I know how to make a delicious pupsicle!
