Maria is great. I hired her to take care of my 17 yr old pup and my kitty. I was very comfortable leaving my dog at home, with her visiting. My pup passed away so she just had my kitty. I love not having to worry about my Sweetie!

I feel so lucky to have found Maria! She knows dogs so well, has a great system, and truly cares. It was wonderful to be at peace while traveling, knowing our pup was in good hands. I look forward to working with her again!

Maria was very good with my little dog. He took to her right away. She shared photos of him with me while I was away. I'm planning to reach out to Maria in the future with additional dog walking dates.

My dog took an instant liking to Maria which was reassuring. Maria provided updates via text and took some pictures of my dog as well, which was a nice touch. Everything went smoothly and I would not hesitate to use Maria for dog sitting again.
