Pet care experience

I love, love, love dogs.

I have been fortunate enough to share my life with many beloved furbabies, including an extraordinary pair who graced this world for an impressive 20 years (yes, that's right!). The joy and energy of puppies always fills my heart with laughter; their playful spirit is simply infectious! At the same time, I cherish the gentle souls of senior pets, who shower us with love and wisdom, reminding us of the beauty of patience and compassion. Your furry family member will receive all the love and care they deserve.

This was our first rover experience- our two dogs stayed with Maria and her family for about 4 days.Maria was happy to do a meet and greet before hand a couple months prior. The day we were dropping the dogs off my female who hasn’t been spayed yet started her menstrual cycle, I was so worried we were going to have to cancel our flights because I totally wouldn’t blame Maria if they didn’t want to keep her while she was wearing a diaper. But Maria was happy to still take both pups for the weekend and I am so thankful. My lab is a high energy gal and did great. We got pictures and updates multiple times a day of their walks and playing in the back yard. They seem happy and content after their stay with Maria and I cannot recommend her more. We have another stay booked with her already. So thankful to find someone to leave my pups with who we trust and can feel at ease leaving them with.

Maria and her family were fantastic! She provided daily feedback and pics of our dog Jack. From the moment we met you could tell how much her and family love and care for dogs. They treated Jack like part of their family. I know Jack will be missing them. But we will connect again in the future! Thanks Maria!!

I am so happy I found Maria on Rover! The moment I met her family and her I felt a big comfort they were so inviting. I can’t say thank you enough for taking care of our toy poodle, Loki, like he was part of their family. She sent alot of cute pictures and updates which we loved getting. Would definitely book with her again!

Rey was so happy staying at Maria’s house! Maria and her family are so loving to dogs. They made Rey feel right at home :) Maria is very good at sending updates with pictures and kept Rey active with many walks throughout the day! Rey takes many morning and night pills so we appreciated the attention to administering them.

In our home your pet will be part of the pack. They will be engaged in play, relax indoors, supervised outside time in our fenced yard or go for a walk around the neighborhood and walking trails.

A typical day

Each dog is unique and my care will adjust to them. If they want to simply chill and enjoy a calm day I am up for that. Your pet is welcome to a comfy spot in our home. If your pet needs exercise or a leisurely walk, I can easily make that happen. I live in a neighborhood and near trails and parks.
