Information Maria B. would like to know about your pet

I like to know how well they get along with other dogs. If we are going on a walk and passing another friend can they visit with each other or should I avoid anything. If there is any habits the dog is accustomed to. And definitely if there are any allergies or diet restrictions.

A typical day

I love to stimulate dogs mentally and physically. Not only do we go to parks or beaches to explore smells and for some good doggy association. But we also play games, frisbee, fetch, and a few I’ve created myself

Pet care experience

Hi there! My name is Maria, I grew up on my families ranch caring for all the livestock. As an adult I started my own cattle ranch along with caring for my own house pets. I’ve been a dog owner for 30+ years, and have always taken my pets through training courses. I’m looking forward to caring for your fur baby, and helping both of us get some good exercise!
