Experienced lifelong rancher

Pet care experience

Hi there! My name is Maria, I grew up on my families ranch caring for all the livestock. As an adult I started my own cattle ranch along with caring for my own house pets. I’ve been a dog owner for 30+ years, and have always taken my pets through training courses. I’m looking forward to caring for your fur baby, and helping both of us get some good exercise!

It was such a relief to know my cats were in great hands while I was gone for a long weekend. Maria came for drop in visits 2 times a day and sent me photos. When I got home the cats were happy and not distressed at all that I was gone. I couldn’t be happier with Maria and I most definitely use her again when I go out of town.

Maria is amazing! She is so reliable and I never worry about leaving my dogs at home when I know Maria will be there to take care of them :)

Maria has been a great resource to use to check up on my dogs and take them for walks. She is very responsive and my dogs enjoy their time with her!

Information Maria B. would like to know about your pet

I like to know how well they get along with other dogs. If we are going on a walk and passing another friend can they visit with each other or should I avoid anything. If there is any habits the dog is accustomed to. And definitely if there are any allergies or diet restrictions.

A typical day

I love to stimulate dogs mentally and physically. Not only do we go to parks or beaches to explore smells and for some good doggy association. But we also play games, frisbee, fetch, and a few I’ve created myself

I currently wake up at 6am everyday to care for my 2 dogs, cat, and bird. Both my dogs look forward to their daily walk, although one is much older, so I adapt his walks.
