This is my Baby's Home Away from Home! We always feel safe & secure to travel when Maria Jose and Family are loving our boy.

Maria Jose is always above and beyond. We had a very difficult last minute trip, and she cared for our Boy as wonderfully as always.

Both my dogs were well taken care of and very happy when I picked them up. She’s a great sitter!

Maria has been great with my frenchie, Chloe! She was available over the busy holidays and even gave her a bath! She sends regular pictures and I have used her twice because I trust and appreciate her care for Chloe. I will always choose Maria, if she is available!

Safety, trust & environment

I keep a close eye on the dogs and make sure they’re not eating anything, getting into trouble, or making a mess. My partner also helps with the dog care. Your dog will be in good hands!
