Loving Home with Large Yard!

I’ve been around dogs my entire life. I grew up with dogs in my extended family and have always been one of the people helping care for them, so being around different breeds, personalities, and energy levels has always felt very natural to me. In the last several years, that experience has grown through having dogs of my own and dog sitting through Rover. I’ve now cared for 40+ dogs, from young puppies to seniors and dogs with special needs. I’m comfortable adjusting to each dog’s routine, personality, activity level, feeding schedule, medications, and whatever helps them feel most comfortable away from home. Our home is very dog-friendly. We have a large fenced yard with plenty of room to play, and we’re within walking distance of a park and dog park. I work from home Monday through Friday and am home most weekends, so dogs get lots of attention, supervision, outdoor time, and opportunities to settle in and feel like part of the household. We lost our sweet girl Stella in December 2025, and we now have Ellie and Pepper. Ellie is very used to having visiting dogs around, and Pepper is a playful younger pup who loves having canine company. Between them, visiting dogs usually have built-in buddies while they’re here. I genuinely love having dogs around and want them to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and at home while their people are away.

Ruby had a great time with Maya. As this was her second stay, she recognized their house upon arrival. I certainly look forward to booking with Maya in the future!

This was our first experience having our dog Bear stay with Maya and her family. Bear tends to get anxious in new places, so we were a bit nervous, but Maya did an excellent job taking care of him and making him feel comfortable and at home, even while he was away from us. Maya is wonderful, she kept us reassured with regular updates, along with pictures and videos of Bear. Thank you, Maya, to you and your family. It truly means a lot to us. Bear is not just our dog, he is like our son, and we are so grateful for the love and care you gave him. Thanks a ton!

Maya took care of our puppers, Ruby, and she was such a kind and gracious puppy sitter! Ruby had such a great time, as was evident by the big smile stretching from ear to ear. We certainly hope to have Ruby visit again!

This was our first time having our puppy away overnight and Maya did a wonderful job. She made us comfortable with the environment she provides and how she cares for the fur babies. We also really appreciate the updates and photos/videos! Would bring our pup Dini to Maya again in the future.

Maya and David took great care of Murphy for 8 nights while I was on vacation. Murphy can be a handful since he is only 15 months old and I felt very comfortable the entire time I was away and I know he had fun as well, which is icing on the cake!!

I was thankful Maya was able to take Banjo on short notice! Banjo got tons of good exercise in the big fenced-in backyard. That was a bonus for Banjo! Banjo is nervous on stairs, and Maya carried him (59 lbs.!) up and down in order to get him outside. Needless to say, Banjo was well taken care of!

Schedule

Routine I work from home Monday through Friday from 7 AM to 5 PM, so Ellie isn’t left alone during the day. I’m also home and available most weekends. Our days follow a consistent routine: Ellie goes out first thing between 6:30 and 7 AM, then eats breakfast. In the winter, walks are weather-permitting, so most outdoor time is in the yard with plenty of supervised play. Dinner is around 6 PM and bedtime is around 9 PM. Visiting dogs fit right into this rhythm, with regular outdoor breaks, playtime, and lots of company throughout the day.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide a safe and comfortable environment where dogs can relax and play. My home has a fenced yard for outdoor time, and I supervise dogs throughout the day since I work from home. I make sure all dogs get plenty of attention, follow any special care instructions, and have an stress-free stay.

Pets

A typical day

I don’t have a list of special activities, but I do have a large yard that gives pets plenty of space to run, sniff, and play. I make sure they get lots of attention, time outside, and plenty of love while they’re with me. Whether it’s fetch, sunbathing, or just roaming around the yard, I let the pet’s energy and personality guide the fun.
