Maura is awesome. She really gets dogs (and owners :) I have a dog who can be a bit difficult with other dogs, especially those bigger than him (Napoleonic complex, much? ) and Maura is so willing to work with him on behavioral stuff in addition to giving him time and space to run free. Whenever Maura takes care of Kili, I know he will have a blast and come home tired and happy! Happy dog = happy me. Highly recommend! More...

Maura is amazing. A true professional. She has a passion for what she does and it's evident from the start. Maura doesn't just watch your pets, she gives them her full attention and care. She loves what she does and it shows immensely! If your looking for someone you can trust to care for your four legged family members look no further than Maura. More...

Our dog Kira is very particular about who she feels comfortable with. Either my wife or I have to be around for her to be comfortable, especially when she’s outside of our house. She won’t even play with our neighbor’s dog unless one of us is there with her - she will stop playing and follow us if we dare walk into the house, even if there’s a glass door and she can clearly see us. However, it’s a completely different story if she’s with Maura, Markie, or Christopher. She absolutely loves and trusts them. As soon as she hears the car pull up outside, she’s at the door waiting for them. If she could, she’d be out exploring with them all day long. They pick her up for walks and adventures every weekday. Since Kira is a rescue and is incredibly nervous and miserable in new environments, it is impossible for us to board her in a kennel. She would be miserable and there’s no way we could do it to her. Luckily, Pet Friends Pet Care offer house visits when we are on vacation. We get daily updates with pictures. Sometimes throughout the day. It’s lovely to see pictures of Kira snuggling up to Maura and Markie, or getting texts saying how Kira slept in their bed all night. It takes away the guilt of leaving her while we’re on vacation. We are so glad we found Maura and her family. More...

Maura at Pet Friends Pet Care is a Godsend! My partner and I both have dogs and were desperate for help to acclimate them so we can all coexist in a fairly small space. She has been working with our pups and us several times a week. Not only that, in the beginning of our relationship she worked with me directly with my partner's dog who is very protective of her Mom. Once E and I were cool, we brought in my little Olive and have made incredible progress in a very short time. Maura has a special gift, I call her the dog whisperer. I have complete trust in her and know Olive will be safe anytime she goes out with Maura or her teammates and the other dogs for playtime whether I am with her or not. I think maybe I need more training than Olive!! Maura has really put me at ease to let Olive do her thing and not hover or get scared when she starts playing hard with the other dogs because she's little. That's what they do! Thank you Maura and Pet Friends Pet Care!! I don't know what we'd have done without you!! More...

I couldn’t recommend enough. My dog is a different dog because of Pet Friends Pet Care. The things that make them such an excellent service provide are the following: I know my dog, Effie, truly enjoyed her day when she’s out with them; Effie enjoyed her day because of the small ratio of dogs to worker to provide the attention and support that is needed for feel confident and safe (which is why I know she enjoyed it); and they have bond with Effie - I know she’s with people who genuinely love her.

You would be hard pressed to find anyone who cares about dogs as much as Maura; she treats all the dogs she cares for as if they were her own, and is one of the most genuine animal lovers I have ever met. Trust your dogs with her with complete confidence; she is qualified, experienced, and more importantly, caring and compassionate for all dogs. Your furry friends will thank you for choosing her!

I can't say enough about Maura! She has been our trusted caretaker for our pup for 6 months and has never let me down! She is always reliable and flexible with my ever-changing schedule. She also cares for our pup like we would which is such a comfort when we are away from him! I always get photo and text updates and know our pup is in great hands with her. He's made so many friends and Maura is great about pairing similar puppies up - I credit her that he has developed a healthy social nature and comfort around other dogs. We are moving out of state and I wish we could bring her along - she's just the best. More...
