Maria was a wonderful companion to Fiddlesticks! She was communicative during our trip, sending great photos and updates. This was our first trip away from Fiddle and we felt totally comfortable and safe leaving him in Maria’s care. She is knowledgeable about dogs, understands their needs, and continued our training during crucial puppy-development-time. We appreciate her so much and would book again!

We had to book last minute travel due to a family emergency, and Maria was able to accommodate us on short notice. Communication was great, and she was flexible with our needs and updates. Our Maltese, Marley, doesn’t do well with other dogs, so boarding would have been extra stressful. We really appreciated being able to schedule three drop-in visits per day. Thanks for taking care of our fur babies while we were away!

Super impressed by Maria! She went above and beyond to make sure our little rescue Ziggy had a great time, it wasn't just about the minimum meals and potty breaks. I actually think Ziggy was bored with me when I returned Haha! Now I have to step up the fun for my pup. Thank you Maria for being the Rover I've dreamed of.
