Meet Maria
A little about our family, the pup who started it all, and the love that makes this home your furry friend's home, too.
Hi, I'm Maria.
Furry friends have always held a special place in my heart. Their companionship, unconditional love, and wagging tails are part of what makes a house feel like home to me.
Maria's PetBNB began with my beloved Rumpy by my side. The journey we started together shaped the kind of care I give: patience, affection, and a warm welcome for every pup who stays with us.
Rumpy, always part of our story
My chihuahua-rat terrier mix, Rumpy, was the light of my life and the heart of our home. He had a way of helping even shy pups feel welcome, and he taught me so much about patience and companionship.
Rumpy passed away from lymphoma shortly after turning eight. We miss him dearly. His memories will always have a home here, and the love he brought into our lives remains part of how I care for every furry friend who comes through our door.
He was there at the beginning of Maria's PetBNB. He will always be part of its story.
A new chapter with Zappy
We've welcomed a new girl pup into our family: Zappy. With her, we have more memories to make as we continue the journey Rumpy and I started together.
A home to feel comfortable in
That love for our own pups carries into the care I give yours. I work remotely from home, so your furry friend has companionship, supervision, playtime, and plenty of cuddles throughout their stay. It's a cozy, cage-free family home where every pup is treated like family.
Our home is in Spring Valley, and we welcome pet parents from across San Diego, including La Mesa, Chula Vista, Hillcrest, North Park, and beyond. You can explore our service areas or read other pet parents' experiences to get to know us a little better.
