Safety, trust & environment

We’re flexible with our schedules and always block out time for long walks to the beach and a lot of time to play and interactive with ours and your pups! If caring for pets in our home, you can expect a minimum of 3 walks a day and lots of outdoor time in our front and backyard patio. We don’t have any dangerous areas in either patio, but will still keep a close eye on any pups to ensure full safety. If caring for pups in your home, you can expect me to treat your home like my own and respect it fully while also sticking to your pups schedule you would keep on a regular basis. I’d love to work with you to make sure your pups needs are fully met!

Information Maria & Benjamin C. would like to know about your pet

I’d love to know your pups food, treat, and exercise routine. As well as any ailments or allergies that I will need to be mindful of. Please share any specific requests with me as well! I will treat your pup like an extension of my family.

A typical day

We love to stay active. We live 9 minute walk from Playa Del Rey beach and love to take our pups down there for long walks and runs. In the evenings we also love to take out pups down to the beach for fetch and other games. We’d do the same with your pup as long as they don’t have any ailments that keep them from doing these things, and we of course would adjust and make sure we do low impact exercises.

Loving Care, So You Can Worry Less

Pet care experience

Leaving your dog behind can be hard—whether it’s for a weekend getaway or a busy workday. You want someone who’ll treat them with the same love and attention you do. You need more than just a dog watcher; you need someone who gets it. Someone who will keep your dog happy, safe, and loved until you’re back. As a dog mom to two golden retrievers (8 and 4), I’ve had plenty of experience with dogs of all energy levels, temperaments, and needs. I’m comfortable managing medications, preventing allergy triggers, and handling allergic reactions if they arise. Our home has a large front and backyard, perfect for playtime, exercise, and fresh air. Whether your pup needs long walks, belly rubs, or someone to sit quietly and keep them company, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. You’ll get regular updates, photos, and all the reassurance you need—so you can relax, knowing your dog is in good hands. At the end of the day, it’s not just about keeping your dog fed and exercised—it’s about making sure they feel at home, even when you’re not there. Because your dog deserves the best. And so do you.

My pup had the best time with Maria and Ben! I got so many photos and updates as the day went on and Maia got so much love, attention, and playtime! She came home like a kid after Disneyland.

We had the best experience with this Maria and Ben watching our pup, Baja! From the start, they made us feel completely at ease by sending frequent updates, including tons of videos and pictures, which meant so much while we were away. It was clear Baja was not only well cared for, but truly loved. They were incredibly attentive, thoughtful, and treated him like their own. You can tell they genuinely care about the dogs they watch. We’re so grateful to have found them and would absolutely trust them again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!

We are so grateful to Maria and Ben for looking after our Bernedoodle while we were away! They are super communicative and we received lots of photos and videos which was so great while we were missing our girl.

Maria and Benjamin are super lovely and cared for my dog like their own. From ongoing communication and pictures to multiple walks per day and much more, it was clear my pup was in good hands and truly on his own fun vacation. he loves the company of other dogs and got along really great with Maria and Benjamin’s dogs. I Highly recommend them as they truly go above and beyond.
