Information Maria Alexandra R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs. If your pet is anxious and if there is anything in particular to watch for because it scares your baby (ie. thunder, door bells, having their ears touched etc.) Also please let me know how your dog is around other dogs or cats, as often in my house I might be sitting for other pets. Finally because there are often other pets in the home basic training of the dog is preferred. That dog knows how to drop something it may pick-up with (ie. food, toys etc), not destructive with furniture and other things around the home.

A typical day

I am a total animal lover and interact a lot with the animals around me. I will talk to them constantly and play with them if they are playful or if they are more mellow and reserved I will let them be and respect their space while at the same constantly keeping an eye on them.

Thank you for taking care of Kai. You treated him as your own and now he feels like you’re his second mama.

Maria is a wonderful dog sitter. She’s patient and loving . My dog fell in love with her the time she met her. Highly recommend her!

Alex is wonderful, and I’m so happy to have found her. She took such great care of Lexi and treated her with so much love and attention as soon as I dropped her off. She honestly made me feel like Lexi was being cared for like she was her own little baby. She sent me multiple photos which gave me so much peace of mind and made being away much easier. I feel comfortable knowing Lexi is happy, and getting lots of play time and attention with Alex. Highly recommend her!

I am so happy I found Alex (Maria Alexandra)! She was like a parent to Chewy, so attentive and communicative and flexible and we both adore her for it. She took Chewy on a long walk, cuddled with him at home, and made sure he had everything he needed. He loved spending time with her! If you're looking for a responsible sitter who truly loves dogs I can't imagine a better person than Alex.
