Lots of house and love to share

Pet care experience

My beautiful Akita of 13 years just passed away and although I'm not ready to get a new dog I would love to care for yours. I've got dog beds and water/food bowls so no need to pack them. Of course, if your fur baby has a special blanket/bed/toy they love feel free to bring it.

It is obvious from how my dog behaves when I drop her off that she loves spending time with Maria. Maria makes her feel so comfortable in her home and goes out of her way to tend to her needs. We get updates with pictures to let us know how our dog is doing, but we do not worry because we know she is in good hands.

Maria is a wonderful caregiver who treats our dog like her own. Look forward to working with her again.

I absolutely love boarding my dogs with Maria. She’s my weekend getaway boarder and my pups love visiting her and her handsome son. I would highly recommend Maria!

My dog had a great stay with Maria in her home. I can tell by how my dog acts at drop off and pick up that she enjoys her time there.
