Maria took to my Bella Rose right away and was still cuddling her when I left. That made me feel very good. Maria sent pictures and a video that made me glad Bella was having such a good time on her overnight stay. I would definitely recommend her

Maria was great and so communicative, sending pictures and updates of my pup. It was my first time boarding my dog and she made the process feel easy - would definitely trust her with my pup again!

Schedule

I’ve been boarding dogs since 2014, and I truly love getting to know each dog as an individual. I give them space to be themselves, let them explore at their own pace, and never impose on their comfort. I understand dog behavior and have basic training experience, which helps me read their signals and support them in a way that feels natural and safe. I have numerous repeat guests. Most families tell me their dog knows when they are on the way here for their play-ca-tion. Dogs will howl, wiggle, and rush towards the door upon arrival because they are smart and can remember they had a good time. Some dogs don't want to leave. Please don't feel bad about that. They still love you. It is a good sign that they had a great time here.

Safety, trust & environment

Our six-foot privacy fenced back yard provides plenty of space for dogs to run, play, sniff around or bask in the sun, if that is what they enjoy. Some dogs just go potty and quickly come back inside. That's ok, too.

A typical day

I want dogs to be themselves. If they enjoy watching Dog Tv, it will be on. Some just sleep all day - that's ok! They can sniff around the yard, frolic around the house, gaze out the window or play with one of the other pups (if present). The main goal is for all dogs to feel welcome, loved, safe, and nurtured. I am not lucky enough to be a home around the clock pet lover. Most dogs are accustomed to their forever families being away furing the typical workday. I also work outside the home. Dogs have plenty of loving interaction and exercise when I get home. However, if you are seeking a place where your darling will have someone nearby around the clock, WoofHousin' is best for your pup only on weekends because I work in a dental clinic M-F.

Maria can host up to 2 pets per night
Up to three dogs from different households may be present at the same time, so it’s important that all dogs are comfortable around others. They don’t need to play together — parallel play is perfectly fine — but dogs with any known aggression toward dogs or people are not a good fit for this environment. This is especially true for dogs who have been expelled from doggy daycare, boarding facilities, or dog parks. Because this is my home, I’m also unable to host dogs who are destructive due to anxiety, display resource guarding, damage furniture, or dig excessively in the yard. My goal is to maintain a calm, safe, and predictable space where every dog can relax and feel secure. All dogs must be up‑to‑date on vaccinations. Health records can be emailed in advance or brought at drop‑off. I’m comfortable administering medication, but for my own safety, I can only do so if the dog is cooperative.
