Maria took such great care of Max! She sent me lots of updates and was very attentive to him. He got lots of attention and affection. I would absolutely recommend Maria!! Will definitely be using her again in the future.

Maria was amazing to work with! She was very accommodating in the first meet with my dog so that he was more comfortable when I dropped him off. She was so on top of sending me updates and photos of my dog too so I knew he was doing great :) Highly recommend Maria!

Maria was a great, reliable and communicative dog-sitter. She watched my large Labrador both as a puppy and an adult. He was a very challenging puppy and Maria was incredibly patient and loving. I would recommend Maria to anyone who needs help caring for their pet!

Safety, trust & environment

i don’t have any other dogs and it is just me taking care of them. I live right by the rail trail, have a balcony, and my complex has courtyards i can take them on walks/potty breaks to. I live in the heart of South End and near a very very busy street; so if your pup is scared of cars, loud noises, dogs, and people — he may struggle at relaxing and having calm walks/potty breaks.

A typical day

I love spoiling doggies as if they were mine. I want them to always have a good and relaxing time so I’ll give them plenty of cuddles but also any space they may need to rest and not be overwhelmed since it is a new space for them. I would love to take them for a walk so they can explore the vibrancy of South End and say hi to other doggies around the neighborhood (only if you allow it!). You will get lots of pictures, videos, and updates but also let me know if you want a limit on communication.

I want to respect any commands they already know to ensure I’m not disrupting their training so I would like to get a rundown before you leave them under my care. I would also love to know any quirks or behaviors that need extra attention to make sure they feel extra safe with me. Any allergies, big no-nos, and whatever you would want me to be aware of. Again, I want to make sure you and your doggie feel as comfortable and safe as possible ❤️
