Pet care experience
I work from home most days a week, so I’m home most days between 9 and 5! Our dog, Bagel, has been getting a lot better with his separation anxiety but we’re definitely familiar with the struggles of not being able to leave your dog alone, so we’re happy to work with you to find a solution! We have experience giving pets medication, experience with picky eaters, and dogs who can’t be left alone. We can take medium sized dogs but don’t like to take dogs bigger than 60 pounds! This is flexible if your larger dog is relaxed and easy to walk. We also prefer low-moderate energy dogs as I do work all day and don’t have time for long lunch time walks :)
Reviews
Maria S. cancelled a booking within a day of the start date.
Maria was great watching our dog Nawab! She was very responsive and was able to help us out when we urgently needed dog boarding for a few days. Maria was very patient with Nawab as he was new to her home, and she (and her cute dog Bagel!) made great hosts. When Nawab was anxious she helped calm him down with a thunder jacket and calming ointment, and she shared lots of pics and was very communicative. We would happily have Nawab spend more time with Maria and Bagel!
Maria and Aaron did a great job watching Finley over a long weekend. She was communicative and flexible and made the whole experience great. We’ll definitely recommend Maria and Aaron and look forward to booking them in the future!
Maria was great! She and her boyfriend took Allie to the park and I received lots of photos of Allie having a good time. Would definitely use again!

We have an unfenced backyard and two long tether leashes so your dog can hang out in the yard (while supervised!). Dogs are welcome on our furniture but not on the bed. Our dog Bagel likes to just hang out on the couch. He has lots of puzzle feeders and enrichment toys and is happy to share!
Home
Information Maria S. would like to know about your pet
Please let us know your dog’s disposition and exercise level! We want to make sure they’ll be a good match with Bagel. We’d also like to know if your dog can be left alone and if they normally sleep on the bed! Also please let us know if your dog has any special needs or requires medication.
A typical day
As Bagel is a beagle, he loves to sniff! We have a ton of enrichment toys and puzzle feeders like kongs, snuffle mats, and rolling feeders. We also have a big fenced in yard with long leashes we love to let Bagel run around in. There are several parks near us that we would be more than happy to bring your pup to.
