I understand dogs and they know it!

Pet care experience

I had a Schnauzer for 7 years. Preto (my dog's name) was my best friend! We did everything together, and I miss him everyday. When I moved to New York, I lived in an apartment building where there were many dog owners. As they were all students, they would go on trips during weekends and during vacation, and I would stay with their dogs. Leonardo, my husband, had a boxer named Theo. Theo was the love of his life! As we both loved our dogs so much, we treat all the dogs that we have been sitting as our own, as if they were part of our family! Having a dog stay at our house makes us very happy. We absolutely love dogs and the happy energy they bring to the house. Having doggies stay at our house is the best part of living in New York City.

Maria continues to be our go-to sitter for our dog. She is such a great communicator and it gives us so much peace of mind to know that Bo is safe and sound with her. We look forward to having her watch Bo many more times!

Maria has taken care of our dog while we are out of town a number of times and she’s always very happy to see our dog which makes us feel great leaving him with her. She provides regular updates and it’s clear that she genuinely enjoys spending time with him.

Information Maria A. would like to know about your pet

We would like to know if the dog likes to play, how many times does he/she has to go to potty, what are the times that they must be fed, when we are allowed to give them treats, if we should be careful with other dogs, and if they are used to children. We would also like to know if the dog is up to date on all his/her shots. This is very important to us.
