Safety, trust & environment

I follow any requests you may have for your pet--- ensuring comfort, safety, and love for them. With my knowledge of dog body language, I’ll do my best to make sure your pup feels safe with me, and of course respect any boundaries they may have. Our homes are our safe place, as such I will guarantee total cleanliness and respect within it.

Information Maya S. would like to know about your pet

I’d love to know any special needs, accommodations, and boundaries they may have. I usually don’t require meet and greets for drop in’s/walks, but would appreciate one if: it’ll be a continuous booking, if your pup tends to be a puller during walks, or has any special needs— such as an elderly dog, one that demonstrates protective behaviors, etc. If you would like a meet and greet, please don’t hesitate to ask! :)

A typical day

Stimulating your dog physically and mentally is important! I will play their favorite games and spend quality time with them on enriching walks. While physical activity is important, I know when to take breaks and enjoy chill time. Needless to say, I’ll adjust my care for each pet depending on their needs and wants— along with your personal preferences, to ensure they have an amazing time with me!

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Maya! I've had a dog for over 5 years, taught him all of his tricks, pet sit regularly for friends, and have had multiple cats throughout my life (even adopted our current cat, Taro). I have plenty of experience with dogs of many sizes and personalities at my previous doggy daycare job, where I’d supervise/care for/play with 15+ dogs at a time. My position required extensive training on dog body language, their various forms of communication, and to detect different types of illnesses. Ever since I was a child, I loved to learn about the many different breeds of cats, dogs, and other animals!

Time and time again Maya has gone above and beyond to meet her client's needs. I had an unexpected 10+ day hospital stay. I called Maya that day and she accommodated all my needs. My cats adore her. She sends videos/pics/updates. Because of Maya, my hospital stay was less stressful knowing my babies were being cared for. She's so reliable, professional and truly cares about the pets she takes on. Thank you from the bottom of my ❤️

Maya did an AMAZING job caring for my 2 cats for a week. I loved the daily updates, pics and even videos! I really appreciate the extra effort she put in to reassure me that my babies were ok. I would highly recommend her and look forward to using her services in the future.

This was the first weekend that I had asked Maya to stay with my two dogs. Maya has walked my dogs many times prior to staying the weekend. And as always, she is very responsible, very caring, and is willing to go above and beyond to be helpful as she asked if I needed my plants watered or garbage taken out. Always willing to help in anyway she can. I am extremely happy to have found Maya to trust my two dogs with as I know she takes very good care of them and she takes them on almost a mile walk each time. I am very confident and having Maya stay at my house and careful, my pets, and I will definitely be asking her to do so again in the future.
