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!

Maria really loves and understands dogs. It was such a treat to know my dog was so well cared for and to be given such thoughtful insights into his interactions with other dogs. Thanks, Maria!

1st time using Rover. Maria made it very easy and answered all my questions very quickly prior to dropping off my 2 dogs. During their stay she consistantly sent pictures and updates on how they were doing. They whole process of dropping off and picking up was easly and stress free. I would definately book again with Maria and recommend her.

Schedule

Dogs who are friendly and comfortable with other dogs are welcome for both short- and long-term stays at Woofhousin’. The ideal guests are independent pups who are used to their family being away during the typical workday. That said, all dogs are welcome—I’ve had the joy of hosting over 1,000 dogs, and I can sincerely say they have a great time here! While I do work a day job on weekdays, I make up for it with plenty of playtime, interaction, snuggles, exercise, and whatever else makes each dog feel loved and cherished. Most dogs are used to being home during the day, and Woofhousin’ offers a cozy, caring environment that helps them feel at ease. On weekends, I’m home around the clock and the fun never stops!

Safety, trust & environment

A Home Away from Home At Woofhousin’, comfort and freedom go paw-in-paw. Our spacious, six-foot privacy-fenced backyard gives dogs plenty of room to run, play, and explore safely. Inside, dogs are welcome to roam freely throughout the home whether they love stretching out on the furniture or curling up on the guest room bed, I want them to feel like this is their second home. If you prefer your dog to be crated during their stay, that’s totally fine! You’re welcome to bring your own crate or use one of mine. Bringing your dog’s favorite bed, blanket, or comfort item is always encouraged—it helps them settle in and feel more at ease.

A typical day

Play, Enrichment, and Tail Wags I know how important both mental and physical stimulation are for a happy, healthy pup. That’s why I offer a variety of fun activities during your dog’s stay such as fetch, tug-o'-war, snuggle time, or just letting them frolic freely in the yard. Social dogs can enjoy playtime with other canine guests, while more independent pups can choose their own adventure. There are plenty of toys available to keep things exciting and enriching throughout the day. However, some toys have to take a timeout when dogs display resource guarding and become territorial.

At Woofhousin’, since dogs from different households may be present at the same time, it's essential that all dogs get along well with others. They don't have to necessarily play with each other but dogs with any type of dog or people aggression are not a good fit. I prefer to meet meet every dog before agreeing to board them. Sometimes I make exceptions. This is especially true if they will be the only dog in my care or if we have a detailed discussion beforehand. Risky/unpredictable behaviors such as resource guarding, dog or people aggression, or destructiveness is occasionally unknown to even the most attentive dog parents. If needed, I may use gates or crates or secure dogs in the guest or laundry room to ensure the safety of all dogs, humans, and my home. Health & Vaccinations: All dogs must be up-to-date on vaccinations. Health records can be emailed in advance or brought during drop-off. Doggy Diapers are used 9n all dogs because, dogs can be unpredictable and may piddle or mark unbeknownst to you or me. The majority of pups don't mind them, and I’m happy to show you how they’re used during our meet-and-greet. They help prevent accidents from causing damage to our home. Drop-Off & Pick-Up Times: Weekdays: Scheduled in 10-minute increments between 6:30–7:30 AM or 6:00–9:30 PM Weekends: Slightly more flexible... If you need a different time, just let me know and I’ll do my best to accommodate!
