Pet au Pair is the gold standard. For more than 13 years, Maureen Hughes has lovingly cared for our dogs like they are her own. Whether in weekly playgroup or overnight stays, we can trust Maureen to be responsible, attentive, caring, and super fun. She goes above and beyond to ensure that our three dogs are healthy, happy, and safe. We all adore her.

Our dog absolutely loves going to Pet Au Pair. Maureen is the most attentive and caring person we have ever encountered when it comes to our golden retriever. He waits by the window for her and completely flips out when she pulls in the driveway. Going out of town used to feel so stressful but now that we found Maureen, we feel completely at peace knowing our dog is so well cared for while we’re away. Highly highly recommend Pet Au Pair by Maureen Hughes. We highly recommend the services of Maureen Huges and Per au Pair

I love Maureen because she is honest, hard-working, and a very experienced dog care person who is totally dedicated to the well-being of any dog in her care. My dogs, a collie and a cavapoo, not only get fed, watered, brushed, and played with when they are at Maureen’s, but they also get loved. Maureen loves my dogs and they love her! She dotes on them and all the dogs in her care. Plus, she has a huge backyard that gives the dogs plenty of room to run and enjoy the fresh air. I never worry when my dogs are with Maureen. I know they are safe, loved, and having fun.

As empty nesters, our dogs are more than our best friends, they are literally our family. With Pet au Pair, we know our “kids” are in the best hands possible and we can leave them for the day or for an extended trip, and not have anxious moments wondering how they are doing. We have been using Pet au Pair and Maureen Hughes for over 25 years. She has lovingly cared for our many different dogs, ranging from English Bull Dogs to French Bull Dogs, to our current Doodles, Kiwi and Hawker. With each pet, Maureen has been a surrogate “mom" and personal dog whisperer. She has helped the dogs socialize, while at the same time noting and reporting any strange behavior which may indicate an illness or injury. When Maureen opens the door to our house, our dogs run to the van at her command. We are very much at ease knowing Maureen is a true dog lover, very knowledgeable and able to provide a safe space for our dogs.
