Pet care experience
I'm a former volunteer at a puppy rescue in CO and I also have a lot of experience taking care of stray dogs back home in South America. I used to pick them up from the streets/highway and provide them with veterinary care, emotional/behavioral training and eventually re-homing them to a love and caring family. I have 2 doggies we brought from Argentina in 2016 with my husband and one year later, we adopted an adult female cat. Our pups are super friendly, healthy and playful. We go on walks everyday and we go visit family members with them as well. We play fetch every single night, brush their long and shiny coats and their teeth too and provide them with toys, chews and cuddles, making sure they are as happy as a dog can possibly be!
Reviews
I would highly recommend Maria with no hesitation. She was so caring and updated me daily including photos. Nothing but good to say!!! My pets loved her:))
Maria has been fantastic. She was great with Tucker and even though he isn’t the greatest walker, she was very kind and patient with him. Very much appreciated!
Maria is a 10 star dog sitter. My pups were immediately taken by her warmth & sincere love. She is reliable & trustworthy & organized getting in and out of our home. Best of all, she is communicative & willing to do whatever it takes for you to make sure your dogs are covered.
Maria is hands down the best dog mom/walker/sitter I know. There is no one I would trust more with my beloved pup. If you are looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter, look no further. I challenge you to find a better dog walker out there!

Information Maria B. would like to know about your pet
First of all, I'd like to know the dog's personality. After that: What does the dog enjoy doing the most (is the dog a couch potato or an energizer bunny waiting to play?). Does he enjoy playing? What kind of game does the dog like? Tug, fetch, etc? What treats am I allowed to give him for positive reinforcement? Is the dog scared of thunder? Does the dog take ANY medication/supplements? Does the dog enjoy getting brushed? Can I give the dog a bath if he/she gets muddy? I don't have any breed preferences. However, any extra large breed dog (great dane, saint Bernard etc), that is not properly trained on the leash (pulls) will challenge our walks, so I will be applying my dog training knowledge to get the dog trained the best I can!
A typical day
We can go on walks around the neighborhood, go on runs (I have a special leash that attaches to my waist), visit parks, and play fetch or just enjoying being off-leash in a fenced in dog park (prior owner's permission!).
