Pet care experience
Hello there! I am a responsible and caring person that loves dogs, all sizes and all ages. I am the proud mom of a beautiful girl named Maggie. She is almost 12 years old, chihuahua/rat terrier mix, a tiny and very loving girl! I am a dog walker, sitter, hostess, and I love it! I love to host dogs in my place. My little one is very good with other small and medium dogs that are well-behaved and neutered. I can still do sitting in someone's home, as long as they are willing to let me bring my dog. My partner and I work from home so your pup is never gonna be alone. Other services I provide: - Day and night care: If you work very early in the morning or overnight and don't want to leave your furry child home alone, bring them to me. - Regular (scheduled) walks, or as needed. - Playdates: You can set them up, or I can take your pup to a dog run and meet new buddies. - Pick up and Drop off: Life happens! I can take Fluffy to the groomer if you can't. I can pick her up and drop her off at the groomer, veterinarian, or business lunch and then back home. (transportation should be provided, like a cab or limousine, unless located within walking distance) I can help you out with anything related to your doggy. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me. Why do I love dog sitting? I have loved dogs since I can remember. Dogs have been my four-legged brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews. They're family to me. About my yard I have an enclosed yard My experience administering medication Oral medication, yes.
Reviews
Maria is a gem!! She’s been walking Rue since she was just a few months old, and is so extremely thoughtful and attentive with her. Rue stayed with her for a whole week and Maria sent plenty of updates and photos Rue’s entire stay. I’d absolutely leave Rue with her again!
Maria is one of the best walkers I've had for my dog. She goes above and beyond to make sure my dog is well cared for. She's very communicative and really cares about the animals that she works with!
Maria has been wonderful to work with. I use her dog walking services. She is super communicative and knowledgeable. I feel so much better when I'm at work knowing that my dog will have the best time with her!
Quick to respond in a pinch and professional!

Safety, trust & environment
I will follow all instructions given to me very closely. If you want your dog to be crated, or if you allow your dog on the couch, bed, etc, I got your back. Your dog will never be walked unleashed and the leash and harness are always double checked before we start our walks. Please don't use retractable leashes and/or just collars. It's not good for their little necks.
Home
Information Maria B. would like to know about your pet
How active he or she is. Does she or he have destructive tendencies? How many times a day is he or she fed? Is there any allergy I should know about? Is there any medication I have to administer? Is he or she allowed on the furniture? I love dogs of all sizes, with that said, it's easier to manage small and medium breeds.
A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks There's a small park about right across the street from us, plus we live in the beautiful Overlook neighborhood. All walks are fun Your dog's sleeping arrangement I love cuddling with doggies, so I would say, in bed with me, but if you don't allow your dog on the furniture, I also have a dog bed in my bedroom. Time I'll spend with your dog As much as possible. I have a very flexible schedule.
