I’m home all day, and my Master’s studies are fully online with no live classes, so I can fit school around your pet’s needs — especially cuddles! I make a habit of taking Missi on regular walks throughout the day, giving us both a break from the computer and plenty of fresh air and exercise. My partner also works fully remote and is at home, serving as the designated dog wrestler if your pet enjoys play-fighting or laser pointer for cats to chase—so there’s always an extra pair of eyes making sure everyone is happy, safe, and well cared for.

Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize your pet’s safety and well-being, whether at my home for boarding/daycare or on walks and drop-in visits. On walks, I watch carefully to prevent pets from picking up anything they shouldn’t, carry water to keep them hydrated, and supervise interactions with other pets to make sure everyone stays comfortable and safe. At home, I provide cuddles, play, and gentle attention, tailoring activities to each pet’s personality and energy so they feel secure, happy, and well cared for.

Information Maria B. would like to know about your pet

Before sitting, I like to know a dog’s feeding schedule, favorite activities, energy level, any medical needs or medications, bathroom routine, and any house rules or quirks. That way I can make sure they stay safe, happy, and comfortable while in my care

A typical day

I provide a safe, fun, and loving day for your dog! We’ll enjoy walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddle breaks. I follow your dog’s routine, make sure they’re happy and hydrated, and give lots of attention and care while you’re away.

Trusted Dog Care in Brooklyn!

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m a Brooklyn dog and cat lover and a proud English Setter mom! I offer boarding, walks, playtime, and snuggles, all tailored to your pet’s personality and energy. Senior pups and cats get extra love, and every pet gets the care, fun, and attention they deserve. Right down the street from the DNR line, with quick access to Downtown Brooklyn, Bay Ridge, and Lower Manhattan! At home, pets have plenty of space to relax, play, and feel comfortable. I adopted Missi at 7 months and have trained her from puppyhood, so I understand pet behavior, energy levels, and how to guide them with patience and positive reinforcement. We have toys, treats, beds, and blankets ready, and pets are welcome to sleep on the bed if they like! For exercise and socialization, there are several nearby dog parks for off-leash play. I also love low-key bonding time — sitting together on the stoop, cuddling while watching TV, or gentle play for senior pets. Missi is very gentle, especially with small dogs, and she’s curious and calm around cats, making her a great companion for social pets.

Maria took such good care of my dog when she boarded with her and gave us good updates and photos the whole stay. She was very responsive and attentive. My dog is a cuddler and it was nice she had someone to cuddle with while I was away.

Maria is the best! She’s so attentive to Finn’s needs, keeps up with his training, and provides detailed updates.

The best sitter we’ve ever found! So grateful for Maria and Zach - they are truly some of the kindest and most caring people. They took amazing care of Lincoln and treated him like family - he had the best time playing with Missi and it made me so happy to see all the fun they had together. ❤️

Maria (Vicky) made our pup feel right at home. She is detail oriented and kind. I will be booking with her again!
