María is the best, she took care of Benny and also gave me some training tips afterwards. I would really recommend her! :)

I would never leave my dogs with someone that I don’t know, unless im certain that that person loves and cares about animals as much as i do. For many people, animals are much more than just pets. They are part of our lives! For this reason I am more than grateful to have had Mar taking amazing care of my little 4 leg babies! Thank you Mar! Best pet sitter EVER!

María was a good boy in a past life. She not only shows up promptly and shares cute photos on occasion (but not too many), but she also gives our pup plenty of belly rubs and ear scratches. Maria is trilingual, expanding our dog's vocabulary beyond ruffs and yips to high-pitched (yet somehow adorable) phrases in Spanish and English (and I think a bit of broken Dutch sprinkled in). She is picky about the dogs she associates with, prancing with only the happiest of furballs through parks and city streets, so we're always confident that our dog won't pick up on bad nipping habits, or worse, become a gossip. Maria always delivers him back happy, exhausted, on time (if an end time is requested), and ready for a little puppy snooze.

Schedule

My daily goal is to walk 10.000 steps a day, so I am taking walking breaks from work and is the way that I start and finish my day. It would even better to walk with a dog.

Safety, trust & environment

I make sure they have water and food when needed and walk the dogs after each meal and always find the best stick to play. With cats I clean the litter every day and brush their hair if they have it long. I would try to keep their owners rules at mine but if they convince me to be on my couch with puppy eyes it won’t be my fault.

A typical day

If they fetch… fetch, long walk, talks, let them sniff each piece of grass that they want, hide and seek, chess and B&W puzzles .
