Dream job, dogs are wonderful
Pet care experience
I'm a big time dog fan, from growing up with a shepherd cross who was over 100lbs (and a cat). I'm used to long walks, and very much enjoy the quality time spent with dogs. I've walked several types of dogs, and am comfortable with most breeds. I live in an apartment so when the weather is good (and even when it's not) I would prefer to be outside for as much time as possible, and a dog companion would be ideal for big day walks. I live on the top floor of my building (about 30 steps up), so unless I can carry your pet I wouldn't recommend myself for a senior dog.
Reviews
Maria was punctural and prompt with communication! She took great care of Chloe! We would definitely board Chloe with her again!
Maria did a fantastic job of taking care of our Siberian husky and German Shepherd. Both are very high energy dogs and we came home to two very tired pups. You could tell Maria spent a lot of time walking and playing with them. Maria was also very flexible with a last minute changes. She responded immediately to my texts and I felt very at ease on my trip ❤️
Maria was amazing with all of our pets and they were well cared for. If travel ever opens up safely we would definitely ask her back!
Maria kept me updated during my dog's stay on what she was doing, feeding, walking. When I picked up my dog at the end of her stay she was happy. I knew it was because she had had a good time with Maria and she wanted to tell us all about it. Would definitely leave my dog with Maria again. Absolutely no issues. The drop off and pick up were hassle free. Thank you, Maria!

Safety, trust & environment
When I take care of an animal, all of my attention is on them. I prefer long walks to staying indoors, so all dogs that stay with me definitely get their exercise unless they have mobility issues.

Information Maria A. would like to know about your pet
Are they house trained? Are they good around other dogs? bc honestly this makes a huge difference in the stay. Are they socialized with people? Can i give them peanut butter? I'm open to all breeds but especially love boston terriers, german shepherds, staffies, and pitbulls.
A typical day
I love going for walks around the city, especially down at the Bayfront. There are a few parks nearby, as well as a fenced-in dog park for them to run around, and play fetch. I'm not huge on dog parks, but like having the option.

I have time during the week for a longer stay, but the weekend is more difficult. Definitely reach out if you're looking though, as my schedule changes frequently.
