Work from home, huge fenced yard!

Pet care experience

We will treat your dog like family! Matt and Maria love dogs... like, SERIOUSLY love them. We have three sweet senior Brittany Spaniels and we take any opportunity we can to meet great new dogs everywhere we go. We rescue senior Brittanys, and have been dogsitting for more than 8 years, so we understand that every dog is special and has different needs. For day care and overnight boarding, we offer a comfortable, clean and safe-for-pups home. Our one-acre lot has a huge yard with a secure block wall. We live on a quiet and safe street where dogs can relax and play. Toys and treats are provided, but you can bring your own, too! Baths and brushing are available as well. We have chickens, but they are very secure in their coop. For daily dog walking, we can suit the walk or outing to your dog's needs. We have an SUV with plenty of room to accommodate pups if you need pick-up and drop off services for an extra fee. We are happy to create a custom experience for your dog that is fun and comfortable for them! We do require all dogs to be up-to-date on vaccines, be spayed or neutered and house trained. If your dog has aggression toward other dogs, please tell us ahead of time as we have a sweet, sensitive senior dog who can't take the rough stuff. We look forward to meeting your furry friends!

Maria watched our 13 year old girl for 4 days while we were out of town. We knew from the moment we met Maria, her husband, and their two older pups that it was going to be a great fit for Daisy. They have a lot of experience with senior dogs and are so patient and tolerant of their quirks. They have a great enclosed yard for the dogs to play in and pay a lot of attention to them. I don’t think that Daisy wanted to leave them when we came to pick her up. We will absolutely leave our girl there again when we are going to be away from home. They are absolutely wonderful!

Maria and her dogs were great: very calm environment, which is exactly what Milo needed to handle the switch from 2023 to 2024! (Sorry it took so long to submit this review)

Another most wonderful doggie vacation for our Sammie! She just LOVED her time with Maria and her fur babies… It felt so good when we drove up to drop off Sammie and Sammie could NOT wait to jump out and be with Maria! Made us feel like we made a good choice and to us, that is the ultimate review!!!! 100 stars to Maria!
