Hi, I’m Masha. Over the years, caring for dogs has become a steady and meaningful part of my life and my daily routine. My husband and I work together as a team, which allows us to provide reliable supervision and a calm, structured environment for every dog who stays with us.

We also share our home with Mo our 1-year-old mini bull terrier. He’s friendly, well-socialized, and has grown up around dogs of all sizes. Mo has a very balanced temperament: he gives space to shy dogs, matches energy with playful pups, and generally helps new dogs feel more comfortable during their stay. Many dogs relax faster when they meet him, and he’s a wonderful “canine host”

Through hosting many different breeds and personalities — from anxious rescues to confident, high-energy dogs, we’ve learned how to read canine behavior, support each dog’s needs, and create routines that help them settle in smoothly. Our approach is calm, respectful, and highly attentive.

Most of my work is home-based, which allows me to be present with the dogs throughout the day. About 6–7 days a month, I travel to lead women’s wellness retreats, but the rest of the time I’m fully available at home and dedicated to providing consistent care.

My pup stayed with Maria for a few days while I was out of town, and she had a good time. Maria is very understanding to my pup's needs, and sent me multiple updates throughout the day. I can see from the videos that my pup enjoyed hanging out by Maria, and even asked for pets, which she rarely does with people outside of our family.

I want to give a shout-out to Maria, for opening your home for Spencer, being his first time at your home you would think he live there. That how comfortable he felt right way. Thank you for your kindness and taken good care of Spencer ❤️
