Maria was AMAZING!!! Extremely accommodating! I was looking for literally days and found her two days before my requested day, so happy she said yes at such short notice. And might I add, I needed an early drop off and felt bad but I also feared I would be waiting forever but that was not the case. She kept me very up to date, sending pictures with updates. I loved that she let my baby cuddle with her on her sofa. I can tell Maria puts a lot of heart and thought into everything she does and I appreciate her. Thank you for treating my baby so amazing. Would most definitely rebook.

Maria is a lovely person who shows real care for pets. We are very pleased to met her and leaved our precious Emma with her. We definitely will take her services again.

Maria did an amazing job taking care of my fur baby Jax she sent a lot of updates with pictures when spending time with my baby. She made sure to follow the detailed instructions given to care for my baby. She also provided a super detailed report of how it went when caring for Jax. I am super happy and satisfied with the service received ! I would definitely hire her again to care for my baby it was obvious she has so much love for dogs and animals in general !🤗

Safety, trust & environment

In Houston I live alone in an apartment! I will make it a priority to walk your doggy about every 2 hours for potty breaks & fresh air! In Midland, I live in a house with my family. I have a fenced backyard where the dogs will have plenty of space to roam around. I try to make All dogs feel welcomed and safe in a new environment by letting them sniff everything and having all their belongings in one specific area that becomes their designated space.

A typical day

I enjoy to train and practice tricks with the pets I watch. I like to watch them learn something new in real time! Pet parents seem to like this as well!
