Maria took care of our Australian Shepard over Thanksgiving for a week and was quick to answer questions and sent us photos everyday. Our dog had a blast hanging out with her dog everyday and we will definitely be using her again.

Maria was responsive to our texts, flexible, followed all our instructions, very prompt, and sent us nice photos of Riley during her stay. It was Riley’s first time away from home, she thoroughly enjoyed her time with Maria & Sandy. Based on our great experience, I will be using Maria’s services again the next time we need to leave Riley with a sitter.

Doggy Day Care • Sep 04, 2025

Maria was warm and friendly. Our dog had a great time in her care while our family explored Mt. Rushmore and Custer for the day. It gave us peace of mind to not have our dog alone in the hotel all day. Maria sent pictures and updates during the day. It was great to see our girl relaxing and enjoying her own vacation. Thank you Maria!

Maria was amazing and very flexible with us. We would love to use Maria's services again when we visit Custer in the future. Keiko said she was the best and her dog Sandy became an instant puppy best friend.
