Your dog will be on vacation too

Pet care experience

Hello, fellow dog lovers! My passion for dogs has been a lifelong journey, deeply rooted in my upbringing in Spain where my family raises breeds like Spanish Mastiffs, Presa Canarios, German Shepherds, Bernese Mountain Dogs, and Czechoslovakian Wolfdogs, which even graced my wedding day! Although my professional lifestyle and love for large breeds prevent me from having a dog of my own, this longing fuels my dedication to offering your furry companions the highest standard of care, treating them as if they were my very own. With extensive experience in handling medium to large breeds (though I adore small dogs just as much), I specialize in basic obedience training, managing reactivity, and addressing separation anxiety. I am skilled in administering oral, topical medications, SubQ injections, and am first aid certified for dogs and cats, ensuring your pet's health and safety under my care.

Maria was great with my pup. He is my pride and joy and I felt beyond comfortable leaving him with Maria. She updated me without having to asked and was sure to send pics and videos. Will definitely entrust my pup to her again!

Maria was THE BEST!! Multiple daily check-ins with pictures, videos, and notes that made me feel SO happy to know my Milo was being cared for EXACTLY how I would have it!! I knew he was having a BLAST from the smile on his face! Maria took Milo to the dog park, gave him plenty of long walks, lots of play time, and THE ULTIMATE CUDDLES!!! Milo is half pit, half lab, but is FULL CUDDLE BABY BEAR!!! He's also not fixed, but a very gentle and naturally calm pup and Maria had no issues with him! She really made me feel he was safe and well loved, at all times. I was very grateful for Maria and Mattia's care and I look forward to booking with them again in the future!! Me and Milo send you ALLLLLLL the hugs and puppy kisses! Appreciate you!!!! 🙏🏽💛

Maria is more than a puppy sitter, she's a second family for our boy. He has some anxiety issues and when he is with Maria it is just like being with us. I don't think I'll ever find anyone else he has that connection with. I am so grateful that we can travel comfortably knowing our boy is so loved and taken care of.

Maria is a fantastic dog sitter - it's clear she loves dogs and she created a such a special bond over 5 days with my pup Pygar. Very kind, communicative and considerate I'd 100% recommend her and she'll definitely be my go to for future dog sitting needs.

Safety, trust & environment

Our daily routine kicks off with an hour-long walk at 8am, followed by a nutritious breakfast and frequent play breaks throughout the day. I deeply value the bonding time during daily brushing sessions and take pleasure in both teaching and practicing tricks to keep their minds sharp and spirits high. Evening walks before sunset and a final nighttime stroll ensure a full, engaging day. In my home, dogs can enjoy the comfort of furniture to feel at home. Yet, I prioritize consistency and respect for your house rules. If you prefer your dog stays off the furniture, I'll ensure they're comfortable and content with their own special spot, maintaining the boundaries you've established. Adapting to your dog's daily routine is important to me, as maintaining a consistent environment is key to their well-being and happiness.

As a freelance consultant with a flexible schedule, I am 100% committed to your dog's well-being, making it my top priority. My services include exclusive boarding (one dog at a time or multiple from the same household), daycare for returning clients, and occasionally house sitting, all provided with the utmost respect, care, and affection. My home is a paradise for dogs, equipped with toys, bowls, a dog bed, and various leashes. Plus, three delightful parks within ten minutes offer ample space for play and socialization. I live in a third floor, so I am sorry but I cannot have elder dogs with hip problems.
