This applies to pets that cannot be left alone for more than 1 hour.**

A typical day

I love taking dogs I watch to the park by my neighborhood so they can take in all the new smells of the area and be entertained with the squirrels nearby! I also love a good game of tug o’ war and other stimulating activities in the house so your pet is never bored and always entertained with me.

Snuggles, Walks & Love

Pet care experience

I love dogs and all animals! I have around 10+ years of experience taking care of pets including dogs, cats, even birds and turtles! Since I am currently taking a semester off college, I have full availability on weekdays and weekends to take care of your furry one. When I provide care, your pet is always under my direct supervision, gets potty breaks every 2 hours, and I get to play with them! I also like walking, so I don't mind taking them out for longer walks to get their daily exercise in. As a dog lover, I also have a dog of my own. He is an 8 year old Shih Tzu named Kimchi, who is a very social, playful and polite puppy.

Highly recommend! Maite has been great with my dog. Mocha loves her. She is very communicative about how things are going. Will always ask her when I need care for my dog.

We will absolutely be bringing our Rosie back to Maite! She took great care of our dog, kept us updated throughout our trip and sent pictures too.
