I provide one on one care and host only one dog at a time. Occasionally, I can take two if you have two dogs you’re looking to board both with me. Dogs in my home enjoy a daily routine with morning, midday, and evening walks, along with plenty of individualized play and affection. My goal is to create a relaxed, comfortable environment where your dog feels safe, loved, and happy.

Information Maria A. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special diet restrictions, allergies, existing conditions, resource or food guarding tendencies, and reactivity to dogs or people. All dogs should be fully vaccinated before being dropped off.

A typical day

Feel free to bring along your dog’s favorite toys and treats to help them feel comfortable and at home. For dogs who enjoy being active, I often take them on walks or easy runs through the Newport Bay Nature Preserve just a few blocks away.

Pet care experience

Passionate about pups! With over 14 years of hands-on experience in training and caring for dogs, I've had the joy of nurturing a variety of breeds, including Chocolate Labs, Yorkshires, Jack Russels, and Chihuahuas. To me, every dog is a cherished member of the family, regardless of size. Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions. I aim to respond within 4 hours!

Maria was great! She kept us updated on our dog while we were away and gave us peace of mind. My dog seemed to love being at her home and we will definitely book her again!

It was an absolute blessing to find Maria on here. First time user on Rover, and always left my little guy at boarding hotels. Maria is VERY PROFESSIONAL and took care of Peanut better than I would! She kept me updated on him, and sending pictures, both helped keep my mind at ease knowing he was in GREAT HANDS. WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND MARIA TO ANYONE !!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
