Information Maria A. would like to know about your pet

Please share if your dog has any special needs or particular sensitivities or triggers. This can also include diet. Please also share if your dog needs extra adjustment time to new spaces.

A typical day

I offer lots of supervised outdoor playtime as my 5 year old dog loves to play and has some toys to share! Dogs will get lots of belly rubs and affection. Depending on weather and need, dogs also have the option for indoor or outdoor rest breaks, treats, walks, and personalized attention. Every dog goes home happy, tired, and well loved!

Loving Care for your Pup

Pet care experience

At my home, your dog is treated like family. My background is in education, so I’ve had the unique experience of learning to take care of dogs as well as children. I grew up with a Labrador, and currently own a 5 year old rescue male who gets along wonderfully with other dogs. I provide compassionate, one-on-one care tailored to your dog’s unique needs and behaviors. My home offers doggy socialization, playtime, and cuddles. I am attentive to every detail—ensuring a safe, loving, and stress-free experience while your dog is away from you.

Spectacular sitter. Available on short notice, very flexible and accommodating. My wife and I felt very comfortable trusting our home and our pets to Maria's care and encourage you to do the same. We came home to a clean house, happy animals, and Maria even did our dishes! Above and beyond, stop your search and book Maria if she's available.

My dog had a great time with Maria! He got to play with her dog and run in the backyard. I felt very comfortable leaving him in her care. Thanks again for watching him!
