Maria has been coming twice a week to feed and walk my dog for the past five months. She is such a kind and generous person, and truly cares for my pup as if she were her own. Last weekend she did a two-night overnight stay at my house while I was out of town and they had a great time together. I can't recommend her highly enough, she's just a gem!

So thankful to have Maria to walk our dog every now and again. She is so sweet to our nervous boy.

Maria was great and accommodated a last minute meet and greet for last minute dropins. My dogs (including my nervous boy) were both so comfortable with her instantly! She was prompt and communicative and gave me peace of mind when being away. I will definitely go to her when I need someone again in the future.

After Maria came by for a drop-in visit, I came home to a happy, relaxed dog. Maria responds quickly to messages & sends photos. I definitely will be asking for Maria again :)

A typical day

I like to confer with the owner regarding where their fur babies prefer to walk so they are comfortable and can have areas where they feel secure. After the walks, we play and/or cuddle. I'm intuitive and can figure out what mood "my" dogs are in and what they need.
