Maria is amazing with dogs. She took care of my Lulu as if she were her own. Lulu got hurt the day before my trip and Maria took care of her and took her to the vet. Lulu loved staying at Maria's house and meeting other dogs too. Lulu was part of Maria's family for that day. Thank you so much Maria.

We feel so lucky to find Maria and her family to mind our dog Zak. She was so kind and professional, and sending us photos and videos of our dog playing happily with another dog , his new play buddy! We were delighted and so grateful to watch that. It was as if Zak had his own holidays at Maria's home. Or snuggling on sofa with her family .We were wondering if he will want to come to his home 😆 We can only highly recommend Maria to everyone who is worried about where to leave their dog and have peace of mind. We found our sitter for our dog. Thank you so much

Maria and family have been excellent hosts for Teddy. He loves his trips and always comes back a happy dog. Having company and a family environment is more than we could have hoped for and we feel very lucky to have found Maria locally. Can highly recommend.
